Validate xml instance against schema

[JoeZ]

Hi all,

I am using XMLValidatingReader to validate xml instance against schema.

Now my question is: in the schema, it has the target name space.
In the instance, it doesn't have the name space.
I can not add the name space into the instance, if I could do that I won't
have any problem.

Currently I use XmlTextReader, XmlValidatingReader or XmlDocument.
I am looking for the help to make it work without adding the name space into
the instance.
Is it doable?

TIA,

JoeZ

No.

Either the schema has to change or the instance has to change. If the
instance documents are not going to have a namespace, then the schema needs
to not have a namespace. A schema specifying a namespace is totally
unrelated to one that does not.
