XmlSchemaCollection.Add Method

Definition

Adds the given schema into the schema collection.

Overloads

Add(XmlSchema)

Adds the XmlSchema to the collection.

Add(XmlSchemaCollection)

Adds all the namespaces defined in the given collection (including their associated schemas) to this collection.

Add(String, String)

Adds the schema located by the given URL into the schema collection.

Add(String, XmlReader)

Adds the schema contained in the XmlReader to the schema collection.

Add(XmlSchema, XmlResolver)

Adds the XmlSchema to the collection. The specified XmlResolver is used to resolve any external references.

Add(String, XmlReader, XmlResolver)

Adds the schema contained in the XmlReader to the schema collection. The specified XmlResolver is used to resolve any external resources.

Remarks

Important

The XmlSchemaCollection class is obsolete in the .NET Framework version 2.0 and has been replaced by the XmlSchemaSet class.

Add(XmlSchema)

Source:
XmlSchemaCollection.cs
Source:
XmlSchemaCollection.cs
Source:
XmlSchemaCollection.cs

Adds the XmlSchema to the collection.

public:
 System::Xml::Schema::XmlSchema ^ Add(System::Xml::Schema::XmlSchema ^ schema);
public System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchema? Add (System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchema schema);
public System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchema Add (System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchema schema);
member this.Add : System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchema -> System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchema
Public Function Add (schema As XmlSchema) As XmlSchema

Parameters

schema
XmlSchema

The XmlSchema to add to the collection.

Returns

The XmlSchema object.

Remarks

The targetNamespace attribute is used to identify this schema.

If the schema being added contains references to other namespaces (through include and import elements), the trust level of the application determines how these other namespaces are resolved. (In the .NET Framework version 1.0, a default XmlUrlResolver was always used).

Fully trusted code: A default XmlUrlResolver with no user credentials is used to resolve any external resources. The schemas for these other namespaces are loaded for validation purposes only. Unlike the original schema, these other schemas are not explicitly added to the schema collection. As a result, they are not accessible using any of the collection methods or properties. If these external resources are located on a network resource that requires authentication, use an overload that takes an XmlResolver as one of its arguments and specify an XmlResolver with the necessary credentials.

Semi-trusted code: External references are not resolved.

Note

If the XmlSchemaCollection is being accessed using the XmlValidatingReader.Schemas property, the Add method uses the XmlResolver specified by the XmlValidatingReader.XmlResolver property.

Public Sub Add (schema As XmlSchemaCollection)

Parameters

schema
XmlSchemaCollection

The XmlSchemaCollection you want to add to this collection.

Remarks

If the schema being added contains references to other namespaces (through include and import elements or the x-schema attribute), the trust level of the application determines how these other namespaces are resolved. (In the .NET Framework version 1.0, a default XmlUrlResolver was always used).

Fully trusted code: A default XmlUrlResolver with no user credentials is used to resolve any external resources. The schemas for these other namespaces are loaded for validation purposes only.

member this.Add : string * string -> System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchema
Public Function Add (ns As String, uri As String) As XmlSchema

Parameters

ns
String

The namespace URI associated with the schema. For XML Schemas, this will typically be the targetNamespace.

uri
String

The URL that specifies the schema to load.

Returns

The XmlSchema added to the schema collection; null if the schema being added is an XDR schema or if there are compilation errors in the schema.

Exceptions

The schema is not a valid schema.

Remarks

If ns has already been associated with another schema in the collection, the schema being added replaces the original schema in the collection. For example, in the following C# code, authors.xsd is removed from the collection and names.xsd is added.

schemaColl.Add("urn:author", "authors.xsd");  
schemaColl.Add("urn:author", "names.xsd");  

If ns is null and the schema being added is an XML Schema, the Add method uses the targetNamespace defined in the XML Schema to identify the schema in the collection. If the schema being added contains references to other namespaces (through include and import elements or the x-schema attribute), the trust level of the application determines how these other namespaces are resolved. (In the .NET Framework version 1.0, a default XmlUrlResolver was always used).

Fully trusted code: A default XmlUrlResolver with no user credentials is used to resolve any external resources. The schemas for these other namespaces are loaded for validation purposes only. Unlike the original schema, these other schemas are not explicitly added to the schema collection. As a result, they are not accessible using any of the collection methods or properties. If these external resources are located on a network resource that requires authentication, use an overload that takes an XmlResolver as one of its arguments and specify an XmlResolver with the necessary credentials.

Semi-trusted code: External references are not resolved.

Note

If the XmlSchemaCollection is being accessed using the XmlValidatingReader.Schemas property, the Add method uses the XmlResolver specified by the XmlValidatingReader.XmlResolver property.

Important

The XmlSchemaCollection class is obsolete in the .NET Framework version 2.0 and has been replaced by the XmlSchemaSet class.

Parameters

ns
String

The namespace URI associated with the schema. For XML Schemas, this will typically be the targetNamespace.

reader
XmlReader

XmlReader containing the schema to add.

Returns

The XmlSchema added to the schema collection; null if the schema being added is an XDR schema or if there are compilation errors in the schema.

Add(XmlSchema, XmlResolver)

Source:
XmlSchemaCollection.cs
Source:

member this.Add : System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchema * System.Xml.XmlResolver -> System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchema
Public Function Add (schema As XmlSchema, resolver As XmlResolver) As XmlSchema

Parameters

schema
XmlSchema

The XmlSchema to add to the collection.

resolver
XmlResolver

The XmlResolver used to resolve namespaces referenced in include and import elements. If this is null, external references are not resolved.

Returns

The XmlSchema added to the schema collection.

Exceptions

The schema is not a valid schema.

Examples

The following example adds a schema to the collection. An XmlUrlResolver is passed to the Add method which sets the necessary credentials required to access any external resources referenced in the schema.

XmlSchemaCollection^ sc = gcnew XmlSchemaCollection;
sc->ValidationEventHandler += gcnew ValidationEventHandler( Sample::ValidationCallBack );

// Create a resolver with the necessary credentials.
XmlUrlResolver^ resolver = gcnew XmlUrlResolver;
System::Net::NetworkCredential^ nc;
nc = gcnew System::Net::NetworkCredential( UserName,SecurelyStoredPassword,Domain );
resolver->Credentials = nc;

// Add the new schema to the collection.
sc->Add( nullptr, gcnew XmlTextReader( "sample.xsd" ), resolver );
XmlSchemaCollection sc = new XmlSchemaCollection();
sc.ValidationEventHandler += new ValidationEventHandler(ValidationCallBack);

// Create a resolver with the necessary credentials.
XmlUrlResolver resolver = new XmlUrlResolver();
resolver.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

// Add the new schema to the collection.
sc.Add("", new XmlTextReader("sample.xsd"), resolver);
Dim sc As XmlSchemaCollection = New XmlSchemaCollection()
AddHandler sc.ValidationEventHandler, AddressOf ValidationCallBack

' Create a resolver with the necessary credentials.
Dim resolver As XmlUrlResolver = New XmlUrlResolver()
resolver.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials

' Add the new schema to the collection.
sc.Add("", New XmlTextReader("sample.xsd"), resolver)

Remarks

The targetNamespace attribute is used to identify this schema.

If the schema contains include and import elements that reference other namespaces, the schemas for these other namespaces are loaded for validation purposes only. Unlike the original schema, these other schemas are not explicitly added to the schema collection. As a result, they are not accessible using any of the collection methods or properties.
