I am trying to validate an xml file and schema and when I
am trying to validate I am getting the following error. I
have been trying to come out with a solution but I have
failed so far. The document validates ok in xmlSpy but it
fails in VS2003. Is there any article or fix for this?
Thnaks in advance.
Error:
======
"The Keyref 'Details' cannot find referred key or unique
in scope. An error occurred at file:///C:/test1.xml, (7,
4)..\n"
XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Renewals>
<Renewal>
<Headers>
<e1>String</e1>
</Headers>
<Details>
<e1>String</e1>
<e2>0</e2>
</Details>
</Renewal>
</Renewals>
XSD file:
=========
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

=====================================
The code I am using is the following:
=====================================
public string ValidateXml(string inXMLLocation, string
inXSDLocation)
{
string errorsList = string.Empty;
try
{
// Read the xml file, and send this to
validator.
XmlTextReader xmlReader = new
XmlTextReader(inXMLLocation);
// load the schema file into an
XmlTextReader object
XmlTextReader xsdReader = new
XmlTextReader(inXSDLocation);
XmlSchemaCollection sc = new
XmlSchemaCollection();
// add the ValidationEventHandler to the
schema collection
sc.ValidationEventHandler += new
ValidationEventHandler(ValidationCallBack);
// add the schema to the
XmlSchemaCollection object
sc.Add("", xsdReader);
// create an XmlValidatingReader object
based on the Xml document
XmlValidatingReader rdr = new
XmlValidatingReader(xmlReader);
// set the ValidationType to a schema
rdr.ValidationType =
ValidationType.Schema;
rdr.Schemas.Add(sc);
rdr.ValidationEventHandler += new
ValidationEventHandler(ValidationCallBack);
while (rdr.Read());
errorsList = validationErrors;
//closing the readers and releasing the
handlers to the IFS docs.
//These readers were locking the files
when saving them to the IFS.
xmlReader.Close();
xsdReader.Close();
}
catch(Exception exc)
{
throw new Exception(string.Format("An
exception has occurred when executing method {0}.", (new
StackFrame()).GetMethod().Name), exc);
}
finally
{}
return errorsList;
}
