XSD Validation Question

To you XML validation experts:

I have a schema that validates an XML file, but there are a couple of other
types of validation I'd like to do on it. They are basically string fields
that must be validated against a set of possible codes, but there could be
tens of thousands of possible codes. Naturally, these codes are in a table
in SQL (actually there are a few code types, but the problem is the same for
each).

In the past I have always done this as an additional code step AFTER schema
validation, but I am being asked whether it could be "plugged into" the
schema validation step.

I've taken a look at the XmlDataDocument class which seems to indicate that
I could read a SQL table into a Dataset and use this class to allow XSD
schema validation to reference the range of possible values for the field
type.

Do you have any thoughts on this approach? Could it be made to work and do
you think it would be a "performanc e pig" ?

Maybe this is obvious, but to clarify: the type of validation I am talking
about is like an XSD enumeration, but compared against a set of values in a
SQL database table.

You can build schema definition for that enumeration on the fly querying
information from database, then including this subschema into main one:
<xs:include schemaLocation= "http://server.com/foo.aspx"/>
Then you'd better cache compiled scemas using XmlSchema object.
Alternatively you can plug in your custom validation just before schema
validation - using custom filtering XmlReader, which reads XML as is, but
validates internally certain elements.

Hi, When validating an XML instance, sometimes the schema is not enough to expression the validation rules. Additional validation rules may be expressed in an application-specific way. For example, using XPath or Java method. So is there a concept and/or standard for post-schema validation or application validation? Is there any hook in XML standards that allow me to hook up with my customized validation? Additionally and more...

I want to know if ASP.NET Web Forms Validation Controls are Server-Side or Client-Side form validation? Since I think each validator control can select either 1) JavaScript based error dialog or 2) show the error message next to the control. For example, if the text field is empty with RequiredField Validator control, it can show the value in ControlToValidate property in two ways as I mentioned. Please advise. Thanks!

Based upon some prevoius postings on what to do for adding a 'add' row to a datagrid I utilize the footer to create the 'add' row. The only issue is that I have it sharing the 'UpDate_Command' and I use an argument to difference between an 'edit' vs. and 'add. But since I have field validation on both 'footer' and 'edit' columns I can't submit my edits since the footer validation kicks in.If I take the validation off then the both work fine...

Hi, I have a form with three text fields and a Submit button. The two text fields have ReqiredFieldValidator and third text field has RegularExpressionValidator. The page validation works fine in Internet Explorer but I noticed that in FireFox, Netscape and Mozilla, they don’t work. These validation controls are set to run servside then why they don’t work in non-IE browser.

Hello all! As embarrassing as it is to admit this, I've been designing db driven websites using javascript and vbscript for about 6-7 years now, and I am *horrible* at form validation. To be honest I usually hire someone to do it for me, grab predone scripts and kind of hack out the parts that I need, or just do very minimal validation (e.g. this is numeric, this is alpha-numeric, etc.)

Hi, I have a form for uploading documents and inserting the data into a mysql db. I would like to validate the form. I have tried a couple of Javascript form validation functions, but it appears that the data goes straight to the processing page, rather than the javascript seeing if data is missing and popping up an alert. I thought it may be because much of the form is populated with data from the db (lists, etc.), but when I leave...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
