Want to replace obsolete methods

[Craig HB]

I have been using the code below to validate an XML document with an XML
schema. If the XML is not valid, then the procedure throws an exception. I
have upgraded the application using this proc to DotNet 2 and Visual Studio
says that I'm using obsolete methods:

XmlValidatingReader : should be using XmlReader.Create
XmlSchemaCollection : should be using Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaSet

Any ideas how I can re-write this proc without using obsolete methods ?

- Craig
Public Shared Sub Validate(ByVal xmlPath As String, ByVal xsdPath As
String)

Dim reader As New XmlTextReader(xmlPath)
Dim validatingReader As New XmlValidatingReader(reader)
validatingReader.ValidationType = ValidationType.Schema

Dim schemaCollection As New XmlSchemaCollection
schemaCollection.Add(Nothing, xsdPath)
validatingReader.Schemas.Add(schemaCollection)

Do While validatingReader.Read
'validate xml
Loop

validatingReader.Close()

End Sub

Just to add to my question...

If there is a better way to test whether some XML is valid, please let me know

[Helena Kotas [MSFT]]

Dim settings As New XmlReaderSettings()
settings.ValidationType = ValidationType.Schema
settings.Schemas.Add(Nothing, xsdPath)
XmlReader validatingReader = XmlReader.Create(xmlPath, settings);
