Implement INotifyPropertyChanged on your class. If you have many classes that need this interface, I often find it helpful to use a base class like the following.

public abstract class ObservableObject : INotifyPropertyChanged
{

    protected ObservableObject( )
    {
    }

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

    protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged( PropertyChangedEventArgs e )
    {
        var handler = PropertyChanged;
        if ( handler != null ) {
            handler( this, e );
        }
    }

    protected void OnPropertyChanged( string propertyName )
    {
        OnPropertyChanged( new PropertyChangedEventArgs( propertyName ) );
    }

}

Then you just have to make sure you raise the PropertyChanged event whenever a property value changes. For example:

public class Person : ObservableObject {

    private string name;

    public string Name {
        get {
              return name;
        }
        set {
              if ( value != name ) {
                  name = value;
                  OnPropertyChanged("Name");
              }
        }
    }

}
