Remarks

Note

The XmlValidatingReader class is obsolete in .NET Framework 2.0. You can create a validating XmlReader instance by using the XmlReaderSettings class and the Create method. For more information, see the Remarks section of the XmlReader reference page.

This property must be set before the first call to Read. Setting this property to ValidationType.None creates a non-validating reader.

If external document type definitions (DTDs) or schemas are needed for validation, the XmlResolver is used.
