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

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

<TextBox...

                <TextBox.Text>
                    <Binding Path ="LastName" UpdateSourceTrigger="PropertyChanged">

                        <Binding.ValidationRules>
                            <local:StringRequiredValidationRule />
                        </Binding.ValidationRules>                              
                    </Binding>
                </TextBox.Text>

My rule works, I have a red border around my textbox until I enter a value. I now want to add this validation rule to my other text boxes.

How do I disable the Save button until the page has no validation errors? I'm not sure what to check.
