Does the Visual Studio project template known as Template 10 implement INotifyPropertyChanged? Or does it leave that to whatever MVVM toolkit like MVVM Light or PRISM to define that? (Or of course one could roll their own.)
In Template 10, the ViewModelBase implements the BindableBase, and the BindableBase implement the INotifyPropertyChanged.
You can extend the ViewModelBase in your view model, and use the Set(ref _Value, value) method to invoke PropertyChanged event.
