XML files are validated using an XML schema.

(Definition for XML schema: A schema is a way to describe and validate data in an XML environment)

A schema is a model for describing the structure of information...

Use an instance of the XmlSchemaValidator class to validate XML in C#.

Frinavale,
XmlSchemaValidator is for XSD file validation and my XML is of type XDR. I have used XMLValidatingReader to validate this eventhough it is obselate in .NET 2.0 as
XMLSchemaSet doesnt support XDR format .
Following is my input Test.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" ?>
   <Test xmlns="x-schema:MySchema.xml" xmlns:Test="x-schema:TestSchema.xml" xmlns:Testid="x-schema:TestIdSchema.xml">
      <Info>
           <Information name="Myname" address="2"/>        
       </Info>
   </Test>
 

validation part i have done like this:

            XmlSchemaCollection xsc = new XmlSchemaCollection();
            xsc.Add("x-schema:MySchema.xml", @"C:\MySchema.xml");
            xsc.Add("x-schema:TestSchema.xml", @"C:\TestSchema.xml");
             XmlTextReader tr = new XmlTextReader(@"C:\Test.xml");
            XmlValidatingReader vr = new XmlValidatingReader(tr);
            vr.ValidationType = ValidationType.XDR;
            vr.Schemas.Add(xsc);
            vr.ValidationEventHandler += new ValidationEventHandler(ValidationHandler);
            while (vr.Read()) ;
 

I want to read attribute values of "name" and "address" from input xml. Please answer how to proceed further.
can i use XMLDocument to do this using "SelectSingleNode" and "Attributes.GetNamedItem"? for this i need to assign validated schemas to XMLDocument object. but XMLDocument object uses XMLSchemaSet while XmlValidatingReader uses XmlSchemaCollection.

Please send me sample code to parse this XML document.

Rather than continuing with the obsoleted XDR format is there any reason why you cannot convert your XDR into an XSD? You could then use the updated methods. I believe there are tools that can help you to do this.

I don't see any difference in the snippit provided with any other form of xml?
