Problem validating w3c XML Schema Module with XmlValidatingRe ader

[Mike Bridge]

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:

<xs:notation name="cdata" public="-//W3C//NOTATION XML 1.0: CDATA//EN" />

My code does something like this:

XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(n ew StreamReader(te stfile.OpenRead ()));
XmlValidatingRe ader vreader = new XmlValidatingRe ader(reader);
vreader.Validat ionType=System. Xml.ValidationT ype.Schema;
vreader.Schemas .Add("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml", "http://localhost/TestModule.xsd" );

The exception (thrown at the last line) is this:

System.Xml.Sche ma.XmlSchemaExc eption : Public attribute '-//W3C//NOTATION XML 1.0: CDATA//EN' is invalid URI. An
error occurred at http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/SCHEMA/xhtml-notations-1.xsd, (31, 4).

Any idea on what might cause that?

Thanks,

-Mike

Hi-

One additional bit of information: according to the definition of the "public" attribute, it has to conform to ISO-8879.
As far as I can tell, "-//W3C//NOTATION XML 1.0: CDATA//EN" is a valid value. Could this be a bug in the validator? Or
is there something else going on here?

Thanks,

-Mike

This is an issue with the schema validator in .net 1.1, which is fixed in
..net framework v2.0 beta2.

Thanks.
