Vista - WPF UI not Refreshing

Environment:
Visual Studio 2005 with WPF Ext (C#)
Windows XP

I created a usercontrol that binds to a global object, but when the value of
the global object change the fields on the UI is not refreshing. Can someone
please let me know what the problem is? Below is an example solution

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace WindowsApplication3
{
public partial class App : System.Windows.Application
{

[STAThreadAttribute()]

public static void Main()
{
WindowsApplication3.App app = new WindowsApplication3.App();
Customer cc = new Customer();
cc.FirstName = "John";
cc.LastName = "Doe";
GlobalObj.Instance.CurrentCustomer = cc;
app.Run(new Window1());
}
}

}

Hi Simon

I take a swift view into your code.
Looks like you have to implement the INotifyPropertyChanged Interface in to
your Customers class.

Best regards
Horst

The INotifyPropertyChanged was implemented but the problem was with the
TextBox control so I ending up using the ListBox control instead and it work
fined
