in my application I can add / remove Continents to the data grid view , this works fine but if i change a name belonging to an existing continent the change is not reflected in the data grid view


what do i have to change to get the data grid view to update

thanks

XAML:
<DataGrid x:Name="Dgv_ContinentList"
                  AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                  ItemsSource="{Binding   continentsCollection,
                                          Mode=TwoWay,
                                          NotifyOnSourceUpdated=True,
                                          UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
                    
                  SelectedItem="{Binding  Dgv_SelectedItem,
                                          Mode=TwoWay,
                                          NotifyOnSourceUpdated=True,
                                          UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
                                  
                  ColumnWidth="*"
                  Background="#FF9F9E9E"
                  Margin="250,125,50,50" >
            <DataGrid.Columns>
                <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding continent_name}" Header="Continent Name" IsReadOnly="True"/>
                <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding modifying_user_id}" Header="Modifying User" IsReadOnly="True"/>
                <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding modifying_date}" Header="Modification Date" IsReadOnly="True"/>
                <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding status}" Header="Status" IsReadOnly="True"/>
            </DataGrid.Columns>
        </DataGrid>

Property:
        private ObservableCollection<Continent> _continentsCollection;
        public ObservableCollection<Continent> continentsCollection
        {
            get => _continentsCollection;
            set
            {
                if (value == _continentsCollection)
                    return;

                _continentsCollection = value;
                base.NotifyPropertyChanged();
            }
        }
