Validating XML in a WebMethod parameter

[BillAtWork]

Hi,
I've set up a SoapExtension class and XSD schema in order to validate the
parameters of a webservice method call. However, I'm having a problem with
one of the parameters - it's a string which accepts an XML fragment and I
can't get it to validate using the schema. I need to go back to basics with
this I think - can anyone point me to examples/articles of this technique?

i.e. How do I define a webmethod parameter in the XSD schema that will
validate an XML fragment? It's very simple XML too :-) e.g.

<nodea>
<nodeb id="..." />
<nodeb id="...">
<nodec>abc</nodec>
</nodeb>
</nodea>

Thanks.
Bill

Hi Bill,

Do you need to validate it with a webservice method or directly in the
schema? If using a method, you can define the parameter as an XmlFragment.
If it loads corrects, it is validate. If there is any misunderstanding
here, please feel free to let me know.
