What's New in WPF Version 4.5 - Binding to static properties[^]:

The data binding engine recognizes when the property's value changes if a static event is raised.

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Source={x:Static local:AppCore.CurrentUser}, Path=FullName, Mode=TwoWay}"/>

public static class AppCore
{
    public static event EventHandler CurrentUserChanged;

    public static UserEntity CurrentUser { get; private set; }

    public static bool Login(CredentialEntity credentials)
    {
        var loggedIn = false;

        LoginResponse response = _appSecurity.Login(credentials);

        if (response.Result == Result.Success)
        {
            CurrentUser = response.User;
            CurrentUserChanged?.Invoke(null, EventArgs.Empty);
            loggedIn = true;
        }

        return loggedIn;
    }

}

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=(local:AppCore.CurrentUser.FullName), Mode=TwoWay}"/>

WPF 4.5 – Part 9 : binding to static properties UPDATED | Jonathan ANTOINE's thoughts on Windows development[^]:

It does not work with the x:Static extension

<TextBlock DataContext="{Binding Path=(local:AppCore.CurrentUser)}" Text="{Binding Path=FullName, Mode=TwoWay}"/>

public static class AppCore
{
    public static event EventHandler<PropertyChangedEventArgs> StaticPropertyChanged;

    public static UserEntity CurrentUser { get; private set; }

    private static string _FullName;
    public static string FullName
    {
        get { return _FullName; }
        set
        {
            if (_FullName != value)
            {
                _FullName = value;
                NotifyStaticPropertyChanged("FullName");
            }
        }
    }

    private static void NotifyStaticPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
    {
        if (StaticPropertyChanged != null)
            StaticPropertyChanged(null, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
    }

    public static bool Login(CredentialEntity credentials)
    {
        var loggedIn = false;

        LoginResponse response = _appSecurity.Login(credentials);

        if (response.Result == Result.Success)
        {
            CurrentUser = response.User;
            FullName = response.User.FullName;
            loggedIn = true;
        }

        return loggedIn;
    }
}
