By the link that you provided, you could also use INotifyPropertyChanged extension to your CheckedListItem class, but thats if you dont want use ObservableCollection. It would be something like this:

public class CheckedListItem : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    private int _Id;
    public int Id 
    {
        get;
        set; NotifyIfAnythingChanged("Id");
    }

    private string _Name;
    public string Name
    {
        get;
        set; NotifyIfAnythingChanged("Name");
    }

    private bool _IsChecked;
    public bool IsChecked
    {
        get;
        set; NotifyIfAnythingChanged("IsChecked");
    }

    private void NotifyIfAnythingChanged(String propName)
    {
        if (PropertyChanged != null)
            PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propName));
    }
    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
}

Your listbox should be something like this:

In your code behind you should initialize the ObservableCollection just once, because every change made into it will result into an UI update.

ObservableCollection MyList = new ObservableCollection();
MyListBox.ItemsSource = MyList;

Now every change made into MyList, such as Add(), Remove(), Etc. Will affect your UI.
