XmlSchemaValidator.ValidateEndElement Method

Definition

Verifies if the text content of the element is valid according to its data type for elements with simple content, and verifies if the content of the current element is complete for elements with complex content.

Overloads

ValidateEndElement(XmlSchemaInfo)

Verifies if the text content of the element is valid according to its data type for elements with simple content, and verifies if the content of the current element is complete for elements with complex content.

ValidateEndElement(XmlSchemaInfo, Object)

Verifies if the text content of the element specified is valid according to its data type.

ValidateEndElement(XmlSchemaInfo)

Source:
XmlSchemaValidator.cs
Source:
XmlSchemaValidator.cs
Source:
XmlSchemaValidator.cs

Verifies if the text content of the element is valid according to its data type for elements with simple content, and verifies if the content of the current element is complete for elements with complex content.

public object? ValidateEndElement (System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaInfo? schemaInfo);
public object ValidateEndElement (System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaInfo schemaInfo);

Parameters

schemaInfo
XmlSchemaInfo

An XmlSchemaInfo object whose properties are set on successful validation of the element. This parameter can be null.

Returns

The parsed, typed text value of the element if the element has simple content.

Exceptions

The element's content is not valid.

The ValidateEndElement method was not called in the correct sequence. For example, if the ValidateEndElement method is called after calling SkipToEndElement(XmlSchemaInfo).

Remarks

The following are important notes to consider when using the ValidateEndElement method.

  • For elements with simple content, the ValidateEndElement method verifies that the text content of the element is valid according to its data type and returns the parsed typed value. The text content of the element is obtained from the results of previous calls to ValidateText.

  • For elements with complex content, the ValidateEndElement method verifies if the content of the current element is complete.

  • If the element has a default value, the value returned from the ValidateEndElement method is the default value for the element.

  • If the XmlSchemaValidator object was constructed with the ProcessIdentityConstraints value as a parameter, the ValidateEndElement method checks the identity constraint rules (if any) that apply to the element.

  • If the element is successfully validated in the current context, the XmlSchemaInfo object's (if specified) IsDefault, MemberType, and Validity properties are set with the results of the validation.

ValidateEndElement(XmlSchemaInfo, Object)

Verifies if the text content of the element specified is valid according to its data type.

public object? ValidateEndElement (System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaInfo? schemaInfo, object typedValue);
public object ValidateEndElement (System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaInfo schemaInfo, object typedValue);

Parameters

schemaInfo
XmlSchemaInfo

An XmlSchemaInfo object whose properties are set on successful validation of the text content of the element. This parameter can be null.

typedValue
Object

The typed text content of the element.

Returns

The parsed, typed simple content of the element.

Exceptions

The element's text content is not valid.

The ValidateEndElement method was not called in the correct sequence (for example, if the ValidateEndElement method is called after calling SkipToEndElement(XmlSchemaInfo)), calls to the ValidateText method have been previously made, or the element has complex content.

The typed text content parameter cannot be null.

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.

Remarks

Important

If you are validating against the xs:key, xs:keyref, or xs:unique identity constraints, do not use the ValidateEndElement method overload. Instead, call the ValidateText method and pass it the value of the element. Then call the ValidateEndElement method overload, which takes XmlSchemaInfo as an argument, to verify that the text content of the element is valid according to its data type.

The following are important notes to consider when using the ValidateEndElement method.
