Data bind to a Shared Property WPF
I have a Class with Shared Properties
This Class holds the Name and ID of the Current User.
It all works fine until I try to databind to the Shared Values.
When I update the Shared Values in Code the Displayed Values stay the same.
But if I update the Displayed Values (In the Text box) the Bound Shared Properties DO update.
Class
This Property is in the View Model of the Main Window
xaml

Typically the interface will only update when it is changed or instructed to do so from code. So your behavior is what I would expect. When you want to modify the values from code you need to force the UI to update or you modify the values in the UI directly.

So how do I tell the UI to update?
Isn't that what the INotifyPropertyChanged is supposed to do?
(I am implementing the INotifyPropertyChanged in the Base class)

It Appears I need to raise a StaticPropertyChanged event.
I can only find C# examples - can you help me convert it to VB?

public static event EventHandler<PropertyChangedEventArgs> StaticPropertyChanged;
public static void RaiseStaticPropertyChanged(string propName)
{
EventHandler<PropertyChangedEventArgs> handler = StaticPropertyChanged;
if (handler != null)
handler(null, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propName));
}

The above microsoft site gives both a C# and the equivalent VB code. It looks to be pretty much what you have the C# code in your example.
