Calling the Initialize method is valid immediately after the construction of an XmlSchemaValidator object or after a call to EndValidation() only.
Examples
The following example validates the contosoBooks.xml file against the contosoBooks.xsd schema. The example uses the XmlSerializer class to deserialize the contosoBooks.xml file and pass the value of the nodes to the methods of the XmlSchemaValidator class.

Initialize(XmlSchemaObject)
- Source:
- XmlSchemaValidator.cs
- Source:
- XmlSchemaValidator.cs
- Source:
- XmlSchemaValidator.cs
Initializes the state of the XmlSchemaValidator object using the XmlSchemaObject specified for partial validation.
public:
void Initialize(System::Xml::Schema::XmlSchemaObject ^ partialValidationType);public void Initialize (System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaObject partialValidationType);member this.Initialize : System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaObject -> unitPublic Sub Initialize (partialValidationType As XmlSchemaObject)Parameters
- partialValidationType
- XmlSchemaObject
An XmlSchemaElement, XmlSchemaAttribute, or XmlSchemaType object used to initialize the validation context of the XmlSchemaValidator object for partial validation.
Exceptions
Calling the Initialize method is valid immediately after the construction of an XmlSchemaValidator object or after a call to EndValidation() only.
The XmlSchemaObject parameter is not an XmlSchemaElement, XmlSchemaAttribute, or XmlSchemaType object.
The XmlSchemaObject parameter cannot be null.
Examples
In the following example, an XmlSchemaObject is initialized for partial validation using the Initialize method. The orderNumber schema element is passed by selecting the schema element by XmlQualifiedName in the XmlSchemaObjectTable collection returned by the GlobalElements property of the XmlSchemaSet object. The XmlSchemaValidator object then validates this specific element.
Dim schemaSet As XmlSchemaSet = New XmlSchemaSet()
schemaSet.Add(Nothing, "schema.xsd")
schemaSet.Compile()
Dim nameTable As NameTable = New NameTable()
Dim manager As XmlNamespaceManager = New XmlNamespaceManager(nameTable)
Dim validator As XmlSchemaValidator = New XmlSchemaValidator(nameTable, schemaSet, manager, XmlSchemaValidationFlags.None)
validator.Initialize(schemaSet.GlobalElements.Item(New XmlQualifiedName("orderNumber")))
validator.ValidateElement("orderNumber", "", Nothing)
validator.GetUnspecifiedDefaultAttributes(New ArrayList())
validator.ValidateEndOfAttributes(Nothing)
validator.ValidateText("123")
validator.ValidateEndElement(Nothing)
XmlSchemaSet schemaSet = new XmlSchemaSet();
schemaSet.Add(null, "schema.xsd");
schemaSet.Compile();
NameTable nameTable = new NameTable();
XmlNamespaceManager manager = new XmlNamespaceManager(nameTable);
XmlSchemaValidator validator = new XmlSchemaValidator(nameTable, schemaSet, manager, XmlSchemaValidationFlags.None);
validator.Initialize(schemaSet.GlobalElements[new XmlQualifiedName("orderNumber")]);
validator.ValidateElement("orderNumber", "", null);
validator.GetUnspecifiedDefaultAttributes(new ArrayList());
validator.ValidateEndOfAttributes(null);
validator.ValidateText("123");
validator.ValidateEndElement(null);
The example takes the following XML schema as input.
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="orderNumber" type="xs:int" />
</xs:schema>
Remarks
The Initialize method that takes an XmlSchemaObject as a parameter initializes an XmlSchemaValidator object to its starting state for partial validation.
