Here is something I need to accomplish:

WPF datagrid display/bind data from SQL through entity data model, it also could be done by observationcollection through view model. I can read/pull and save the data successfully, My question is if there is a way to update the GUI data when the data is changed from data source without application pulling the data – meaning some mechanism notify UI the changes in data source and update UI Accordingly.

Or something like RSS feed in WPF Application, whenever data change in database, database/service push the data to GUI application.

    In WPF and Silverlight you are binding the UI elements to properties of an object, that implements INotifyPropertyChanged. That object is usually your View Model, that represents the Model data as its properties. Wherever the data in the model is changed, you need to get the View Model to notify the UI to re-query the data to refresh the UI.

    With that said – no, there is no way to bind directly to a database. You should bind to your data layer, which, in turn, should be polling the DB for changes.
