XmlValidatingReader: continue parsing after XmlException

[George W.]

When attempting to validate an XML file, If the file is valid, it
validates correctly, and it will catch most ValidationEvents without
problem. However, I keep getting the following Exception:
System.Xml.XmlException: The 'RDaaaa' start tag on line '4' doesn't
match the end tag of 'RD' in file 'file:///C:/Work/WIMAR
XML/WI_M_1.xml'. Line 4, position 475.
at System.Xml.XmlTextReader.ParseTag()
at System.Xml.XmlTextReader.ParseBeginTagExpandCharEn tities()
at System.Xml.XmlTextReader.Read()
at System.Xml.XmlValidatingReader.ReadWithCollectText Token()
at System.Xml.XmlValidatingReader.Read()
at XMLValidator.XMLEvaluator.Evaluate(String configPath) in
c:\documents and settings\gwalker\my documents\visual studio
projects\xmlvalidator\xmlevaluator.cs:line 43

Well, this technically is doing what it's supposed to be doing, but I'd
rather have XmlExceptions fired as Events rather than throwing
exceptions. With a try-finally block, I want to easily be able to get
back into reading the XML file after an exception like this. (I am sort
of a newbie in all this, so apologies if this is a really really simple
question.)

I know that my XML and schema are valid. I introduced the error for
testing purposes.
I'm using the following example code from MSDN:
public void Evaluate(string configPath)
{
/**
* if file is okay, return 1
* if file is not okay, return error string
*/
XmlTextReader evaluated = new XmlTextReader(configPath);
XmlValidatingReader val = new XmlValidatingReader(evaluated);
try
{
Console.WriteLine("Validating XML file ");

// Set the validation event handler
val.ValidationEventHandler += new
ValidationEventHandler(this.ValidationEventHandle) ;

// Read XML data
while (val.Read()){}

Console.WriteLine ("Validation finished. Validation {0}",
(m_success==true ? "successful" : "failed"));
}
finally
{
//Close the reader.
if (val != null)
val.Close();
}
}// end of Evaluate method

private void ValidationEventHandle (object sender, ValidationEventArgs
args)
{
m_success = false;
Console.WriteLine("Validation error: " + args.Message );
}

The Validation event handler only catches violations of the schema in the
XML document. But the Xml Document need to be well formed to begin with.
Parsing can NOT continue after encountering a well formedness errors.
