Url validation

A custom xml file I wrote for my application has two elements that accepts
urls. I used vs.net to generate a schema file for my file but there is no
validation for urls. How can I validate an element to accept valid urls
including https ones?

TIA,

The best you can do with XSD is the primitive type called "anyURI". Beyond
that you'll have to write code. You can use the System.Uri class:

try {
Uri uri = new Uri(node.InnerText);
// here you might also want to check the Uri "scheme" to make sure it is
one you accept, like http, https, and file.
} catch (Exception e) {
// then it was a bad URL...
}
