And this time, I selected  RaisePropertyChanged . All the developers working on XAML related apps are very well aware about the use of this RaisePropertyChanged. I am sure, most of us are also aware on where to use this. But does everyone aware about what is the proper way or let's say generic way to use it ??? Well, even if you are not aware, no problem.
