Remove from Observable collection in ViewModel doe

I'm sure this will be a slam dunk for someone... fingers crossed

My ListView ItemsSource is bound to a Property on my ViewModel named TileItems.

Populating the list view updates perfectly.

In the ViewModel, where you see "existingTileItem.Transaction = e.Transaction" . . . The individual listview item updates perfectly.

In the ViewModel, where you see "Me.TileItems.Remove(existingTileItem)" ... The item is not removed from the View. It does successfully remove from the Me.TileItems collection, but the update is not depicted in the View.

Additional Info: AbstractViewModel implements INotificationPropertyChanged, I've tried overriding Equals in the TileItem and not overriding it, and the same results all around happen. I have seen this answer and this answer, but they do not answer the issue I am having.

XAML:

<UserControl.DataContext>
    <local:TransactionTileResultsViewControlViewModel />
</UserControl.DataContext>

<ListView Grid.Row="1"  Name="tileItems" ItemsSource="{Binding TileItems, Mode=TwoWay}" 
                  ItemTemplate="{StaticResource tileItemDataTemplate}" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden"
                  HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" />

ViewModel:

Public Class TransactionTileResultsViewControlViewModel
    Inherits AbstractViewModel
    Implements INavigationAware

    Private _tileItems As TileItems
    Public Property TileItems As TileItems
        Get
            Return Me._tileItems
        End Get
        Set(value As TileItems)
            Me._tileItems = value
            MyBase.RaisePropertyChanged("TileItems")
        End Set
    End Property

UPDATE:

Per @ReedCopsey 's answer, here is the update I made to get this working.

I updated Me.TileItems.Remove(existingTileItem) to be this now

Me.View.Dispatcher.Invoke(Sub()
                              Me.TileItems.Remove(existingTileItem)
                          End Sub, DispatcherPriority.ApplicationIdle)

The code you're pasting should work, from what I can see. The most likely culprit is that your TransactionUpdateReceived event is being raised on a thread that is not the user interface thread. In WPF, single items can be modified on a background thread, but collections cannot (prior to .NET 4.5, but in .NET 4.5, they require extra work).

There are two options. If you're using .NET 4.5, you can use BindingOperations.EnableCollectionSynchronization to allow the ObservableCollection to be modified from a background thread.

Alternatively, you can use Dispatcher.Invoke to push the Add/Remove calls onto the main thread.
