How to Set TextBox.Text Value while TextBox bind with MVVM in WPF

I am using WPF forms and i want to know how to set TextBox.Text value though TextBox bind With MVVM. For Example: TextBox.Text = "Hello"; I want to set this value to Text box and my text box like 

 public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        txtCityName.Text = "Hello Vaibhav";
        this.DataContext = new MyTesting();

    }
}

My WPF Window Form Class:

Next My Xaml:

 <Grid>
    <TextBox Name="txtCityName" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="1"   Text="{Binding CityName, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" Height="40" Width="200"/>
</Grid>

And Next My Model:

internal class MyTesting : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    private string _CityName;

    public MyTesting()
    {

    }
    public string CityName
    {
        get { return _CityName; }
        set { _CityName = value; OnPropertyChanged("CityName"); }
    }

    #region PropertyChangedEventHandler
    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
    public void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
    {
        if (PropertyChanged != null)
        {
            PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
        }
    }
    #endregion
    #region " RaisePropertyChanged Function "
    /// <summary>
    /// 
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="propertyName"></param>
    private void RaisePropertyChanged(string propertyName)
    {
        if (PropertyChanged != null)
            PropertyChanged(this, new System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));

    }
    #endregion
}

But NULL assigned to TextBox . How to solve this

For your question, this seems to be the simplest.

txtCityName.Clear();
txtCityName.AppendText("Reset CityName");

binding is still maintained.

Try this:

    class AddressModel: INotifyPropertyChanged
    {
            private string _cityName;
            public string CityName 
            {
            get {
                  return _cityName; 
                }
            set {
                  _cityName = value; 
                  OnPropertyChanged("CityName");
                }
            }

            public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
            public void OnPropertyChanged(string property)
            {
                this.PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(property));
            }                           
    }

And in your Code Behind:

    AddressModel addressModel = new AddressModel();
    addressModel.CityName = "YourCity";
    this.dataContext = addressModel;

XAML:

    <TextBox Name="txtCityName" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding CityName,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}">

txtCityName.Text = "YourCity" is not MVVM.

You should set the CityName source property instead of setting the Text property of the TextBox control.

<TextBox Name="txtCityName" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding CityName}">

this.DataContext = new AddressModel();

AddressModel obj = this.DataContext as AddressModel;
obj.CityName = "..."; //<--this will update the data-bound TextBox
