XmlDocument.Validate Method

Definition

Validates the XmlDocument against the XML Schema Definition Language (XSD) schemas contained in the Schemas property.

Overloads

Validate(ValidationEventHandler)

Validates the XmlDocument against the XML Schema Definition Language (XSD) schemas contained in the Schemas property.

Validate(ValidationEventHandler, XmlNode)

Validates the XmlNode object specified against the XML Schema Definition Language (XSD) schemas in the Schemas property.

Validate(ValidationEventHandler)

Source:
XmlDocument.cs
Source:
XmlDocument.cs
Source:
XmlDocument.cs

Validates the XmlDocument against the XML Schema Definition Language (XSD) schemas contained in the Schemas property.

public:
 void Validate(System::Xml::Schema::ValidationEventHandler ^ validationEventHandler);
public void Validate (System.Xml.Schema.ValidationEventHandler? validationEventHandler);
public void Validate (System.Xml.Schema.ValidationEventHandler validationEventHandler);
member this.Validate : System.Xml.Schema.ValidationEventHandler -> unit
Public Sub Validate (validationEventHandler As ValidationEventHandler)

Parameters

validationEventHandler
ValidationEventHandler

The ValidationEventHandler object that receives information about schema validation warnings and errors.

Exceptions

A schema validation event occurred and no ValidationEventHandler object was specified.

Examples

The following example illustrates use of the Validate method. The example creates an XmlDocument that contains an associated XSD schema using the XmlReaderSettings and XmlReader objects. The example then uses the XPathNavigator class to incorrectly modify the typed value of an element in the XML document generating a schema validation error.

Remarks

The Validate method validates the XML data in the XmlDocument against the schemas contained in the Schemas property. The Validate method performs infoset augmentation. Specifically, after successful validation, schema defaults are applied, text values are converted to atomic values as necessary, and type information is associated with validated information items. The result is a previously un-typed XML sub-tree in the XmlDocument replaced with a typed sub-tree.

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

  • Schema location hints like xsi:schemaLocation or xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation are ignored.

  • Inline schemas are ignored.

  • If schema validation errors occur during validation the XmlDocument becomes partially validated with some nodes with correct type information and some without.

  • The validation process includes checking for uniqueness and reference constraints (xs:ID, xs:IDREF, xs:key, xs:keyref, and xs:unique).

Validate(ValidationEventHandler, XmlNode)

Source:
XmlDocument.cs
Source:
XmlDocument.cs
Source:
XmlDocument.cs

Validates the XmlNode object specified against the XML Schema Definition Language (XSD) schemas in the Schemas property.

public:
 void Validate(System::Xml::Schema::ValidationEventHandler ^ validationEventHandler, System::Xml::XmlNode ^ nodeToValidate);
public void Validate (System.Xml.Schema.ValidationEventHandler? validationEventHandler, System.Xml.XmlNode nodeToValidate);
public void Validate (System.Xml.Schema.ValidationEventHandler validationEventHandler, System.Xml.XmlNode nodeToValidate);
member this.Validate : System.Xml.Schema.ValidationEventHandler * System.Xml.XmlNode -> unit
Public Sub Validate (validationEventHandler As ValidationEventHandler, nodeToValidate As XmlNode)

Parameters

validationEventHandler
ValidationEventHandler

The ValidationEventHandler object that receives information about schema validation warnings and errors.

nodeToValidate
XmlNode

The XmlNode object created from an XmlDocument to validate.

Exceptions

The XmlNode object parameter was not created from an XmlDocument.

The XmlNode object parameter is not an element, attribute, document fragment, or the root node.

A schema validation event occurred and no ValidationEventHandler object was specified.

Examples

For an example of the Validate method, see the Validate method.

If the node to validate is the root node, the validation process includes checking for uniqueness and reference constraints (xs:ID, xs:IDREF, xs:key, xs:keyref, and xs:unique); otherwise, uniqueness and reference constraints are omitted.
