Not receiving errors when validating non-valid document

[Chris Lieb]

I have an XML Schema file that I know is correct becuase I currently
use it in a VB6 program to validate XML documents. Also, if I load an
XML file into VS2005 that is not valid against this schema, I get XML
errors (blue squigglies) in a few places, which indicates to me that I
should get validation errors while validating through code.

When I try to validate an invalid document, I never get any validation
errors. I have tried many different ways for validating an XML
document using an XSD, including the XmlDocument.Val idate() method, the
..NET 2.0 version of XmlValidatingRe ader using the XmlReaderSettin gs and
XmlReader, and I briefly looked at XmlSchemaValida tor.

My current code is:

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
XmlSchemaSet schemaSet = new XmlSchemaSet();
schemaSet.Add(" http://www.ups.com/cach/tofc/citta/updater",
"\\\\ilhodsvr00 4c\\cach\\upsap ps\\tofc\\citta \\updateSchema. xsd");

XmlNamespaceMan ager nsmanager = new XmlNamespaceMan ager(new
NameTable());
nsmanager.AddNa mespace(String. Empty,
"http://www.ups.com/cach/tofc/citta/updater");
nsmanager.AddNa mespace("xsi",
"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance");

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument(nsm anager.NameTabl e);
doc.Load(filePa th);
doc.Schemas = schemaSet;
doc.Validate(ne w ValidationEvent Handler(validat ionCallback));
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The validationCallb ack function is the one that is in MSDN. I cannot
figure out why validationCallb ack never gets called. The reason that I
have the XmlNamespaceMan ager in there is becuase when I was working on
the VB6 app, I had to define a namespace for the validation to work,
otherwise it never associated the schema with the default namespace.

Could this be caused by the fact that the document that I am validating
has no XML declaration, default namespace, or xsi namespace with
schemaLocation?

Does anyone know why I am not getting any validation errors?

Thanks,
Chris

Your sample code should work, please share your XSD and XML files.
