ValidationType.Auto and reading schema attribute

[jhowey]

Hi,

I would like my default ValidationType to be Auto.

Now let's say I have both a DTD and an XSD file for this XML file being
validated. While it's ValidationType.Auto, it will validate the DTD,
but will not even attempt to read/validate the namespace or even check
if schema file exists.

I suppose it's a resolver problem; anyone have any insight on how I can
have it check the schema File while Auto (without setting
ValidationType.Schema)?

Validation can not perform DTD and XSD validation at the same time. If you
have ValidationType set to Auto, and have a DTD declaraion, you will only
get DTD validation. It will not look for the XSD schema file.

Is there a way i can override the class so I can reverse it (ie; look
for Schema first)?

In .NET 2.0, You can chain multiple readers and hence wrap a dtd validating
reader with a schema validating reader to get the same file to pass through
DTD/Schema validation at the same time.
XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings();
settings.ValidationType = ValidationType.DTD;
XmlReader dtdValidatingReader = XmlReader.Create(xmlFile, settings);

settings.ValidationType = ValidationType.Schema;
XmlReader xsdValidatingReader = XmlReader.Create(dtdValidatingReader,
settings);
while(xsdValidatingReader.Read()) { }

Thanks,
