some of the constructs are a little confusing!

at least there is a clear distinction between a method call and an index!

1. The method signature. There is nothing wrong with what you have, but normally (in non WPF) the EventArgs instance is passed as a parameter:
   
   C#

   protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged(PropertyChangedEventArgs e)

   This is of no consequence as your code will function exactly the same, but I thought I'd mention it.
2. This is more important. There is a potential race condition with your null test. It is possible that PropertyChanged could become null between the check and you calling it. I have seen this too in much WPF code, so maybe there is some internal locking or something going on behind the scenes in WPF. The normal way would be to create a copy and call the copy:
   
   C#

   PropertyChangedEventHandler eh = PropertyChanged;
   if(eh != null)
   {
       eh(...);
   }

   
   

public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
 
protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged(PropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
    PropertyChangedEventHandler eh = PropertyChanged;
    if(eh != null)
        eh(this, e);
}
