Hello all,

 So I am writing my first application using Caliburn.Micro. I am really loving it so far but I am having a problem. I have set up my View and my ViewModel. I am using a Ria service to bring some entities in from a remote database. It appears that everything should be working. I query the DomainContext and I get back some items however they never bind to the View. Here is some sample code of my ViewModel.

 public class RssItemsViewModel: BaseViewModel<IView, IModel>
    {
        #region Properties/Members
        protected EntityManager manager = new EntityManager();
        protected LoadOperation<RssItemEntity> loadOperation;

        public IEnumerable<RssItemEntity> RssItemsCollection
        {
            get { return manager.Context.RssItemEntities; }
        }
        #endregion

        #region Constructors
        public RssItemsViewModel()
            : base()
        {
            View = new RssItemsView();
            Model = new RssItemsModel();
            
            //manager.Context.RssItemEntities;

            if(!DesignerProperties.IsInDesignTool)
            {
                EntityQuery<RssItemEntity> query = manager.Context.GetRssItemEntitiesQuery();
                loadOperation=manager.Context.Load(query.OrderByDescending(rss=>rss.Date));
                loadOperation.Completed += new System.EventHandler(loadOperation_Completed);
            }
        }
        #endregion

        #region Methods

        #endregion

        #region Event Handlers
        void loadOperation_Completed(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
            Debug.WriteLine("Rss Items Load Operation complete");
            //manager.Context.RssItemEntities.ToList().ForEach(rss => RssItemsCollection.Add(rss));
            NotifyOfPropertyChange(()=>RssItemsCollection);
        }
        #endregion
    }

And here is the View associated with it

Any help or comments would be most welcome. 
Thank you in advance
