I want to bind a textblock text to a property of a static class. Whenever the property value of the static class changes, it should reflect to the textblock which is on the other window or custom control.

You can bind to ANY property on a static class using the x:Static markup extension but if thy do not implement any change tracking, it might cause errors on the refresh!

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Source={x:Static sys:Environment.MachineName}}" />
