        //Note: The following two reasons explain why we need the ItemsChanged method
        //      1 View must know when Items has been changed in order to fire event when IGridProvider.RowCount is changed
        //      2 ItemsControl doesn't fire a ItemsChanged event, the only way to do this is to override the OnItemsChanged event
