Validating xCBL documents with .NET

[XML Schema Validation]

I am creating a .NET application that will be receiving
XML purchase order documents in xCBL 2.x, xCBL 3.0 and
xCBL 3.5 format. I'm trying to figure out how to validate
these XML docs against the appropriate schemas in .NET.
Most of the xCBL documents will be defined by the SOX
schema.

I'm trying to use a Schema collection to add the SOX
schema to it, but I receive a "The URI prefix is not
recognized" when I try to add the xCBL 3.5 SOX to the
Schema collection (I am able to add the xdr and xsd
versions).

Has anyone had to do this, or at least validate xCBL
documents against the SOX schema? If so, how did you do
it? Thanks.

Re: Validating xCBL documents with .NET

You will have to find a SOX to XSD converter because .NET only supports the
W3C XML Schema standard (XSD). It appears that xCBL 4.0 uses XSD. There is
some sample code in the xmlint sample posted to www.gotdotnet.com that shows
you how to validate XML documents using .NET.
