WPF Binding datagrid to list of objects automatically updating when an object is changed

I am trying to bind a datagrid to a list of objects and make it so that when I update an object in the list the change is reflected directly into the datagrid without needing to call a refresh.

My code is:

Public Class BindingToAListOfObjectsUpdateable
    Private src As List(Of MyEFEntity)

    Private Sub Button_Click(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
        Dim db As New DbEntities
        src = db.MyEFEntity.ToList()
        dg.DataContext = src
        dg.ItemsSource = src
        db.Dispose()

    End Sub

    Private Sub Grid_Loaded(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
        Me.WindowState = Windows.WindowState.Maximized

    End Sub

    Private Sub Button_Click_1(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
        MsgBox(src(0).Field1)
        src(0).Field1 = "EDITED"

    End Sub

    Private Sub Button_Click_2(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
        dg.Items.Refresh()

    End Sub
End Class

XAML:

<Window x:Class="BindingToAListOfObjectsUpdateable"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="BindingToAListOfObjectsUpdateable" Height="300" Width="300">
    <Grid Loaded="Grid_Loaded">
        <DataGrid x:Name="dg" AutoGenerateColumns="True" Margin="0,0,0,43"/>
        <Button Content="Bind Data" Click="Button_Click" Height="43" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="85"/>
        <Button Content="Change First Rec" Margin="85,0,106,0" Height="43" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Click="Button_Click_1"/>
        <Button Content="Refresh DG" Height="43" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Width="106" Click="Button_Click_2"/>

    </Grid>
</Window>

Is this possible to do without having the call the refresh?

I want to be able to edit the underlying list of objects and have the change directly reflected to my datagrid, is this possible?

Thanks
