ObservableCollection not noticing when Item in it changes (even with INotifyPropertyChanged)

201

Does anyone know why this code doesn't work:

public class CollectionViewModel : ViewModelBase {  
    public ObservableCollection<EntityViewModel> ContentList
    {
        get { return _contentList; }
        set 
        { 
            _contentList = value; 
            RaisePropertyChanged("ContentList"); 
            //I want to be notified here when something changes..?
            //debugger doesn't stop here when IsRowChecked is toggled
        }
     }
}

public class EntityViewModel : ViewModelBase
{

    private bool _isRowChecked;

    public bool IsRowChecked
    {
        get { return _isRowChecked; }
        set { _isRowChecked = value; RaisePropertyChanged("IsRowChecked"); }
    }
}

ViewModelBase containts everything for RaisePropertyChanged etc. and it's working for everything else except this problem..

Just adding my 2 cents on this topic. Felt the TrulyObservableCollection required the two other constructors as found with ObservableCollection:

public TrulyObservableCollection()
        : base()
    {
        HookupCollectionChangedEvent();
    }

    public TrulyObservableCollection(IEnumerable<T> collection)
        : base(collection)
    {
        foreach (T item in collection)
            item.PropertyChanged += ItemPropertyChanged;

        HookupCollectionChangedEvent();
    }

    public TrulyObservableCollection(List<T> list)
        : base(list)
    {
        list.ForEach(item => item.PropertyChanged += ItemPropertyChanged);

        HookupCollectionChangedEvent();
    }

    private void HookupCollectionChangedEvent()
    {
        CollectionChanged += new NotifyCollectionChangedEventHandler(TrulyObservableCollectionChanged);
    }
