I am getting back to learning WPF and am writing a very simple application. In this application a tab control displays note tabs for the selected item in a tree view control, using a binding to a property of that items which contains an observable collection. Unfortunately, when I select an item, even when the item has objects in its property that the tab control is bound to, no tabs appear.

I have a tree view control name nodeTreeView.
I have a tab control name noteTabs.
The tree view controls has an items source of ObservableCollection<Node>.
The tab control has an items source of {Binding Source=nodeTreeView, Path=SelectedItem.Notes}
Notes is a property of Node containing an observable collection<Note>.

I have gotten the tab control to display items before when I used a specific items source. But now that I have used a binding to point to a collection in a property of the selected item of the tree view control, it doesn't work.

Does anyone have any idea?

I will post the code below but please understand that since I simply slapped it together for the purpose of learning that it is very sloppy.
