INotifyPropertyChanged Idea

NotifyPropChanged.cs

using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;

public abstract class NotifyPropChanged : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
    
    // Because of "ref", reassigning the value will work, for both value types and reference types!
    // And thanks to CallerMemberName (.Net 4.5), the compiler will fill in the member name for you :)
    protected void UpdateValue<T>(ref T currVal, T newVal, [CallerMemberName] string propName = "")
    {
        if (EqualityComparer<T>.Default.Equals(currVal, newVal)) return;
        
        currVal = newVal;
        
        CallPropChanged(propName);
    }
    
    // This is here in case you might need to explicitly call PropertyChanged
    // You can even bypass the CallerMemberName trick by passing your own string
    protected void CallPropChanged([CallerMemberName] string propName = "")
    {
        if (PropertyChanged != null)
            PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propName));
    }
}

public class MyViewModel : NotifyPropChanged

    private int someInt;
    public int SomeInt
    {
        get { return someInt; }
        set { UpdateValue(ref someInt, value); }
    }
