Detecting WPF Validation Errors

by

This post was extremely helpful. Thanks to all who contributed. Here is a LINQ version that you will either love or hate.

private void CanExecute(object sender, CanExecuteRoutedEventArgs e)
{
    e.CanExecute = IsValid(sender as DependencyObject);
}

private bool IsValid(DependencyObject obj)
{
    // The dependency object is valid if it has no errors and all
    // of its children (that are dependency objects) are error-free.
    return !Validation.GetHasError(obj) &&
    LogicalTreeHelper.GetChildren(obj)
    .OfType<DependencyObject>()
    .All(IsValid);
}
