(sorry for my bad english)

Why you simply dont create a ObservableCollection in the first place instead of using a List?

Anyway, you can create an ObservableCollection with the List data this way:

ObservableCollection<Customer> customers = new ObservableCollection<Customer>(YOUR_LIST);

If you really need to get the data from the DataGrid ItemsSource:

ObservableCollection<Customer> customers = new ObservableCollection<Customer>(grid.ItemsSource as List<Customer>);
