How can I validate an XML document with C#?

Hi,

I am a beginner and I try to understand how can I use C# and Netframework to
validate an XML document. Is XSD a solution? How?

Thanks,
Doru

The .NET framework supports validation against a DTD or against an XDR
schema (deprecated) or against W3C XSD schema(s).
With .NET 1.x you would use XmlValidatingReader to do the validation,
with .NET 2.0 you would create an XmlReader with the proper
XmlReaderSettings for the validation you want.
See
<http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/howto/doc/Xml/ValidationReadingXML.aspx>
for .NET 1.x and
<http://www.asp.net/quickstart/howto/doc/Xml/ValidationReadingXML.aspx>
for .NET 2.0.

Thank you Martin. I will give it a try and eventually with more questions if
needed.

re: How can I validate an XML document with C#?

In fact I have some questions as I got stuck.
I have an XML document. What is next? How do I bring the XML document into
my C# project so that I can create an XSD schema? Can I create a schema from
the XML menu Item?
Afterwards I will try to write the code to validate the document, but I need
help to get to this point.

Hi Doru Roman,

In Solution Explorer, right click the project name and then choose Add
-> Add Existing item... then select your XML file.

2. To create your XML Schema :

a) Manually method : In Solution Explorer, right click the project name
and then choose Add -> Add New item... then select "XML Schema"
b) Automatic method : Once your XML file is opened, open the XML menu
at the top, and choose "Create schema".

Yes, that method is mentioned in point b) above.

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Cerebrus.
