Calculated Properties using Partial Classes(WPF) - wpf

Question

I am trying to use the calculated columns to display in my grid.
I have a partial class automatically generated by EF code generator with three properties:
Here is my code generated by EF entity generator

// <auto-generated>

}
#endregion
}
}
It also works if i put OnPropertyChanged("Salary") in Hours,Wage,Overtime Property in EF Generated class (which is not a good idea) because if the class gets regenerated , my code will be wiped out
Any help is appreciated. (Sorry for the formatting , this is my first question)
Thanks

Answer 1

Final Draft
(I removed old edits due to irrelevance)
In your partial class add, in addition to your definition of Salary:
partial void Init()
{
_propertyChanged += NotifySalary;
}
private void NotifySalary(object sender, PropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.PropertyName == "Wages" || e.PropertyName == "Hours" || e.PropertyName == "Overtime")
{
OnPropertyChanged("Salary");
}
}

Answer 2

I was able to fix this issue. What was happening is that service was marshaling the data back to the UI but it was not marshaling the events with the properties, so what i had to do was to call the init method from the UI and it started working.
