Hi,
I am experiencing a strange problem. I am reading and writing xml files via
XmlDocument and XmlTextWriter. In the debugger everything works fine but
outside the debugger (debug or release) I receive the following error: "The
type initializer for "System.Xml.Sch ema.Validator" threw an exception."
I wrote a small console app that contains the problem -- I've just attached
the default class which gets run. Output outside the debugger is as follows
------------------
Creating xml file
Reading xml file
Error reading xml file
The type initializer for "System.Xml.Sch ema.Validator" threw an exception.
Press a key to exit
------------------
I know that this code worked at some point in time and I do not get the
error message when running debug or release from the debugger. Runnning
WinXP SP2 and Visual Studio .Net 2003 (C#). Please feel free to correct me
if I am doing something incorrectly or let me know if it runs error free for
you.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
