XML Brain Death Has Occured at 18:19 PM GMT

[One Handed Man \( OHM - Terry Burns \)]

Yes, my brain is once again dead ( this is my mind writing using a
supernatural force ).

I'm trying to validate an xml file against its schema, I have a very simple
example where price is a float, and I put a text value in its place to test
validation. "Nothing Is Reported", however, when I use the IDE to validate
it, it complains as expected. Where have I gone wrong ?

Hey Terry, your XML application is both well formed and valid.

Although I haven't tested it, your problem is most certainly because you
haven't told your XML where to find the schema for validation.

Add something like

validatingReader.schemas.add("http://tempuri.org/DATA.xsd", "..\DATA.xsd")
//or whatever schema filename is

to your VB.Net code and you should be away laughing.
