I want to simulate data changing in the model and having that data be reflected in XAML. As I understand I need to implement INotifyPropertyChanged. 

However, in the following code example, XAML displays the data from the customer only once but the date and time never changes.

**What do I have to change in the following example to make XAML continually display the current date and time as it changes in the model?**

In particular, I don't understand how the Binding would know when to check the model, every second? 10 times a second? There is no event that it is responding to. What am I missing here?

**XAML:**

```
<Window x:Class="TestBinding99382.Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:TestBinding99382"
    Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">

    <Window.Resources>
        <ObjectDataProvider 
              x:Key="DataSourceCustomer" 
              ObjectType="{x:Type local:ShowCustomerViewModel}" 
              MethodName="GetCurrentCustomer"/>
    </Window.Resources>

    <DockPanel DataContext="{StaticResource DataSourceCustomer}">
        <StackPanel DockPanel.Dock="Top" Orientation="Horizontal">
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=FirstName}"/>
            <TextBlock Text=" "/>
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=LastName}"/>
        </StackPanel>
        <StackPanel DockPanel.Dock="Top" Orientation="Horizontal">
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=TimeOfMostRecentActivity}"/>
        </StackPanel>

    </DockPanel>
</Window>

```
