What is the proper way, for the UI to get notified, that property "Difference" has changed in the following code sample?
The property is read-only. The property's value must always be calculated based on the other properties.
MainWindow.xaml:
<Window x:Name="winCalcs" x:Class="BindingList.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

Title="Calculations" Height="350" Width="525">
<Window.Resources>
<m:OperationList x:Key="OperationData"/>
<CollectionViewSource x:Key="Operations"
Source="{StaticResource ResourceKey=OperationData}"/>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<TabControl x:Name="tabsMain">
<TabItem x:Name="tab01" Header="Tab 1">
<DataGrid x:Name="dg01"
ItemsSource="{Binding

UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />
</TabItem>
<TabItem x:Name="tab02" Header="Tab 2">
<DataGrid x:Name="dg02"
