How to update ObservableCollection in UI?

foreach (var t in ((App)App.Current).CollectionMessages)
  if (t.Uid.ToString() == uid)
    t.TexT = z;

The item in CollectionMessages, filed TexT changes Text to what I want. But the UI has no changes, it shows old value. What's wrong?Please help me.

Xaml: 

   <Grid>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <StackPanel Margin="0,0,0,0">
        <TextBlock Text="Диалоги" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextNormalStyle}" FontSize="{StaticResource PhoneFontSizeLarge}"/>
    </StackPanel>
<Grid Grid.Row="2">
                <Grid d:LayoutOverrides="GridBox" >
                    <ListBox  x:Name="mess_list"  ItemsSource="{Binding}" >
                        <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
                            <DataTemplate >
                                <Grid>
                                    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                                        <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
                                        <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
                                    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

                                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding TexT}" " />

You need to implement the INotifyPropertyChanged interface and raise a property changed event so that the UI knows it has to update.

This How to: page has a worked example. You basically need this code:

public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

private void NotifyPropertyChanged(String info)
{
    if (PropertyChanged != null)
    {
        PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(info));
    }
}

which gets called when the things you want to update get changed. So the code for TexT becomes:

private string localTexT
public string TexT
{
    get { return localTexT; }
    set
    {
        localTexT = value;
        NotifyPropertyChanged("TexT");
    }
}

From your update it looks like you've got the binding of the ItemsSource and TextBlock correct. However, have you set the DataContext of the view?

You need to make sure that the class of which t is a type implements INotifyPropertyChanged (MSDN), and fires the PropertyChanged event when you set TexT.
