I have a defined XML Schema, and XML documents containing data that I
validate against it. Periodically, I will have a data document that
will contain extra elements that are not part of my schema. The powers
that be have determined that this is acceptable.
I am looking for the best way to continue to validate my documents
against my schema, but ignore any errors dealing with extra elements.
My first thought is to use a XmlValidatingRe ader, and use a try/catch
block to catch any XmlSchemaExcept ion messages. If the message contains
one of the common exceptions that get raised when there is an extra
element (such as: The element 'XXXX' has invalid child element 'YYYY')
then I will ignore that error and continue on.
This seems like a bit of a hack, can anyone think of a better approach
to this problem?
Thanks

Hi Matthew,
You could take a look at using the <xs:any ...> schema element within your
schema. Have a look at your usual sources/helpfile for an explanation of the
namespace attribute for this schema element.
Cheers

Ahh, very nice. That solves my immediate problem, but introduces other
questions I will need to ponder.
Thank you very much

I believe the .Net XmlValidatingReader should fail when validating XML

Hi-
I've created an XHTML extension module which validates correctly using the W3C online schema validator, but fails when
I use the .net 1.1 validator. It seems to be choking on an included W3C file:
http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/SCHEMA/xhtml-notations-1.xsd
The problem seems to be on this line:

I am using an XMLValidatingReader to validate an XML file received via a web
service. I want to verify that the incoming file matches the XML schema.
When testing the validation routine, the XMLValidatingReader correctly flags
mis-matched tags such as <abc>some content</xyz> but does not catch other
errors. For example, it doesn't catch tags that are not part of the schema,
doesn't catch missing tags where the schema has minoccurs="1", and...
