Ignore DocType

[Nat]

I am reading data from an XML document with xmlDoc.load(fullname).
Unfortunately, in my xml file there is the definition of a doctype file
that is not available and so, it buggs. I would like to ignore it, to
remove this line, or I don’t know… my language is Visual C#.
Thanks in advance for your help.

You can load XML via XmlTextReader with custom XmlResolver set up. In
XmlResolver implementation (inherit XmlUrlResolver and override
ResolveUri method, see "Creating a Custom Resolver" topic in MSDN) you
can resolve DTD reference to your local copy. In fact if you don't have
teh DTD, that local copy can be even a dummy one, as XmlTextReader only
checks DTD exists and is well-formed.

Another simple method would be to specify a null resolver on either the
document or the text reader

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.XmlResolver = null;
doc.Load("filepath");

OR

XmlTextReader tr = new XmlTextReader(new StreamReader("filePath"));
tr.XmlResolver = null;
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(tr);

This article might gives good overview of how the resolver is used :

Hi,

Is there a way to ignore the doctype by using ASP technology (not ASP.net) technology?

Thank you very much,

Elvina

Try to turn off validation on parse:

xDoc.validateOnParse = false;
xDoc.Load(....)
