I try to validate my xml structure, using an xml schema.
This code sample is given here : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.xml.xmldocument.validate?view=net-5.0
XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings();
settings.Schemas.Add("http://www.contoso.com/books", "contosoBooks.xsd");
settings.ValidationType = ValidationType.Schema;
XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create("contosoBooks.xml", settings);
XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument();
document.Load(reader);
ValidationEventHandler eventHandler = new ValidationEventHandler(ValidationEventHandler);
// the following call to Validate succeeds.
document.Validate(eventHandler);
// add a node so that the document is no longer valid
XPathNavigator navigator = document.CreateNavigator();
navigator.MoveToFollowing("price", "http://www.contoso.com/books");
XmlWriter writer = navigator.InsertAfter();
writer.WriteStartElement("anotherNode", "http://www.contoso.com/books");
writer.WriteEndElement();
writer.Close();
// the document will now fail to successfully validate
document.Validate(eventHandler);
Problem is that when I'm using a non valide xml document, I already have an exception of type System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaValidationException on line :
XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create("contosoBooks.xml", settings);
Does this mean you dont need to use this Validate(eventHandler) method with C# 6 anymore ? Or will it take care of few specific validation problems ?
