WPF: static INotifyPropertyChanged event

Question

This is my model:

class Person : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    public static int Counter;
    public string _firstName;
    public string _lastName;
    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

   public string FirstName
   {
        get {return _firstname; }
        set
        {
            _fileName = value;
            NotifyPropertyChange("FirstName");                
        }
   }

   public AddPerson(Person person)
   {
       Counter++;
   }
}

I have this NotifyPropertyChange that changed all my Persons properties inside my ListView and i want to add the Counter field that hold the number of Objects that i have. So is it possible to add another PropertyChanged Event for my static variable ?

Why don't you just reference the `Count` property in your `ListView`? There's no need for a counter. — Mike Eason, Jun 15 '15 at 09:25

Instead of a static counter you should have a view model with a collection of Person objects

public class ViewModel
{
    public ObservableCollection<Person> Persons { get; set; }
}

and bind the ItemsSource property of the ListView to this collection.

<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding Persons}">
    ...
</ListView>

You could now bind to the Count property of the collection to get the number of elements:

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Persons.Count}"/>

For further reading see the Binding to Collections section in the Data Binding Overview article on MSDN.
