Thank you for your reply,
at the top of the xml-instance document i have this code
<xbrli:xbrl xmlns:xbrli="http://www.xbrl.org/2003/instance"
xmlns:link="http://www.xbrl.org/2003/linkbase"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
xmlns:t-me="http://www.c-ebs.org/eu/fr/esrs/corep/2006-07-01/t-me-2006-07-01"
xmlns:d-hh="http://www.c-ebs.org/eu/fr/esrs/corep/2006-07-01/d-hh-2006-07-01"
xmlns:d-mr="http://www.c-ebs.org/eu/fr/esrs/corep/2006-07-01/d-mr-2006-07-01"
.... and it goes on for some more declarations. So the "d-mr" missing
namespace is declared. And the "d-ty" in the same sense.
I am also using in my code a manager , kind of like a resolver i think,
which resolves the prefixes of the namespaces. The code is below:
Dim manager As XmlNamespaceManager = New XmlNamespaceManager(reader.NameTable)
manager.AddNamespace("d-mr",
"http://www.c-ebs.org/eu/fr/esrs/corep/2006-07-01/d-mr-2006-07-01")
manager.AddNamespace("d-ty",
"http://www.c-ebs.org/eu/fr/esrs/corep/2006-07-01/d-mr-2006-07-01")
I then pass the manager to the validator :
'sc is the schemaset
Dim validator As XmlSchemaValidator = New
XmlSchemaValidator(reader.NameTable, sc, manager, settings.ValidationFlags)
The problem is now that even though that there is not a
d-mr:NotaValidVariable in the d-mr namespace, the validator resolves the
prefix, and outputs a valid variable. This fails in all the variables that
use a prefix . Variables that do not use a prefix, return an error message ,
either that are missing ot they have type mismatch, which is the desired
result.
Thank you

The problem you are seeing is not for validation of the attribute's
namespace. it is becuase you do not have the prefix d-ty mapped to a
namespace-uri. When you construct the XmlSchemaValidator [1], you need to
pass in a Namespace Resolver which maps it to a namespace.

I am currently developing an xbrl validation software that takes an xml
instance file and a lot of schemas(xsd files) and validates it against
the
xsd files. I am using Visual basic in visual studio 2005. I have managed
to
cycle through the xml file , validate most of the variables, however, i
have
some problems with the namespaces of some attributes.
For example, in my xml instance file, it says:
<xbrldi:typedMember dimension="d-ty:NationalMarketDimension">
<d-ty:NationalMarket>base metals</d-ty:NationalMarket>
</xbrldi:typedMember>
In this case, the attribute name is "dimension" and
the attribute value is "d-ty:NationalMarketDimension".
The problem is that "dimension" variable is in one namespace, and
"d-ty:NationalMarketDimension" is in another namespace. i execute the
following code:
validator.ValidateAttribute(reader.name, reader.NamespaceURI,
reader.valuevalue, schemainfo)
It validates the name "dimension" correctly with the correct namespace,
however, the value "d-ty:NationalMarketDimension" should be validated
using
the d-ty namespace, which is another x-sd file.
The error i get is :
Error Message:The 'dimension' attribute is invalid - The value
'd-ty:NationalMarketDimension' is invalid according to its datatype
'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema:QName' - 'd-ty' is an undeclared
namespace.
Can anyone help ?
Thank you
