<TextBox Width="150"
Validation.Error="ItemError">
<TextBox.Text>
<Binding Source="{StaticResource myObject}"
Path="PropertyB"
UpdateSourceTrigger="PropertyChanged"
NotifyOnValidationError="True">
<Binding.ValidationRules>
<src:ValueIsNotNull ValidatesOnTargetUpdated="True" />
</Binding.ValidationRules>
</Binding>
</TextBox.Text>
</TextBox>

public class ValueIsNotNull : ValidationRule
{
public override ValidationResult Validate(object value, System.Globalization.CultureInfo cultureInfo)
{
string str = value as string;
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(str))
{
return ValidationResult.ValidResult;
}

{
return new ValidationResult(false, "Value must not be null");
