Using WPF Validation rules and the disabling of a 'Save' button

Question

I have a page where a few textboxes cannot be empty before clicking a Save button.

On the codebehind for the view you could wireup the Validation.ErrorEvent like so;

this.AddHandler(Validation.ErrorEvent,new RoutedEventHandler(OnErrorEvent)); 

And then

private int errorCount;
private void OnErrorEvent(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    var validationEventArgs = e as ValidationErrorEventArgs;
    if (validationEventArgs  == null)
        throw new Exception("Unexpected event args");
    switch(validationEventArgs.Action)
    {
        case ValidationErrorEventAction.Added:
            {
                errorCount++; break;
            }
        case ValidationErrorEventAction.Removed:
            {
                errorCount--; break;
            }
        default:
            {
                throw new Exception("Unknown action");
            }
    }
    Save.IsEnabled = errorCount == 0;
}

This makes the assumption that you will get notified of the removal (which won't happen if you remove the offending element while it is invalid).
