How to detect broken WPF Data binding?

While trying to answer a question in the vicinity 'Unit Testing WPF Bindings' I had the following niggling question..
What's the best way to find if you have WPF Data Binding wiring setup incorrectly (or you just broke something that was wired up correctly) ?

Although the unit-testing approach seems to be like Joel's 'ripping off your arm to remove a splinter'.. I am looking around for easier less Overhead ways to detect this.

Everyone seems to have committed themselves to data binding in a big way with WPF.. and it does have its merits.

Best I could find... How can I debug WPF Bindings? by Beatriz Stollnitz

Since everyone can't always keep one eye on the Output Window looking for Binding errors, I loved Option#2. Which is add this to your App.Config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <system.diagnostics>
    <sources>
      <source name="System.Windows.Data" switchName="SourceSwitch" >
        <listeners>
          <add name="textListener" />
        </listeners>
      </source>
    </sources>

    <switches>
      <add name="SourceSwitch" value="All" />
    </switches>

    <sharedListeners>
      <add name="textListener"
           type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener"
           initializeData="GraveOfBindErrors.txt" />
    </sharedListeners>

    <trace autoflush="true" indentsize="4"></trace>

  </system.diagnostics>
</configuration>

Pair that up with a good regex scan script to extract out relevant info, that you can run occasionally on the GraveOfBindErrors.txt in your output folder

System.Windows.Data Error: 35 : BindingExpression path error: 'MyProperty' property not found on 'object' ''MyWindow' (Name='')'. BindingExpression:Path=MyProperty; DataItem='MyWindow' (Name=''); target element is 'TextBox' (Name='txtValue2'); target property is 'Text' (type 'String')
