Is there a way to refresh all bindings in WPF?

Question

If my code looks somewhat like the code beneath, would it be possible to refresh all bindings directly or would I have to hard-code all the bindings to refresh?

Service-side:

[ServiceContract] public interface IMyServiceContract {     [OperationContract]     MyDataContract GetData(); } [ServiceBehavior] public class MyService {     [OperationBehavior]     public MyDataContract GetData() {         MyDataContract data = new MyDataContract();         data.val1 = "123";         data.val2 = "456";         return data;     } } [DataContract] public class MyDataContract {     [DataMember]     public string val1;     public string val2; } 

Client-side xaml (namespace boilerplate code omitted):

<Window x:Class="MyWindow" DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" Title="{Binding Path=val1, Mode=OneWay}">     <DockPanel>         <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=val1, Mode=OneWay}"/>         <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=val2, Mode=OneWay}"/>     </DockPanel> </Window> 

Client-side code-behing:

public partial class MyWindow {     MyServiceClient client = new MyServiceClient();     MyDataContract data;     public string val1 {get{return data.val1;}}     public string val2 {get{return data.val2;}}     DispatcherTimer updateTimer = new DispatcherTimer();      public MyWindow() {         timer.Interval = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 10);         timer.Tick += new EventHandler(Tick);         Tick(this, null);         timer.Start();         InitializeComponent();     }      void Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) {         data = client.GetData();         // Refresh bindings     } } 

Please disregard any coding standards violations in the example code since it is simply intended as an example for the intended use.

Found the answer, seems like that calling PropertyChanged with the PropertyChangedEventArgs property name set to "" refreshes all bindings.
The DataContext changing worked too, although this felt a bit "cleaner".
