Cannot Validate XML with XSD created from stream.

[Rob Mayo]

I have a bunch of XSD files in my assembly as embedded content that are read out via reflection and streams. My app creates the XML on the fly, and I want to validate it using the schema files embedded in my assembly.

Unfortunately, my problem is that every element is coming up invalid.
Here is the code:

Public Sub Validate(ByVal XmlText As String)Dim strmXML As New System.IO.Memor yStream(System. Text.Encoding.U TF8.GetBytes(Xm lText))Dim xmlVR As New XmlValidatingRe ader(New XmlTextReader(s trmXML))Dim xmlValidationEv entHandler As Xml.Schema.Vali dationEventHand lerxmlValidatio nEventHandler = AddressOf ValidationEvent 'Read common & shared schemas (imported)'Dim xmlCommon As New Xml.Schema.XmlS chema()'xmlComm on.Read(FedEx.F edExManager.Rea dFedExSchema(Tr ansactionSchema .Common), xmlValidationEv entHandler)Dim xmlShared As New Xml.Schema.XmlS chema()xmlShare d.Read(FedEx.Fe dExManager.Read FedExSchema(Tra nsactionSchema.

Re: Cannot Validate XML with XSD created from stream.

Nothing jumps out at me right away. Have you tried to validate instance documents from both of the namespaces ( the FedEx one and the m_strmSchema one)?

Did you make sure that the stream and the FedEx call returned valid schemas?

Did you validate the instance document reading the schemas from a file?

Can you post schemas and an instance document that fails to validate?

Re: Cannot Validate XML with XSD created from stream.

I posted a document and the Schemas I'm using. Any thoughts?

Nothing jumps out at me right away. Have you tried to validate instance documents from both of the namespaces ( the FedEx one and the m_strmSchema one)?

Did you make sure that the stream and the FedEx call returned valid schemas?

Did you validate the instance document reading the schemas from a file?

Can you post schemas and an instance document that fails to validate?

I have a bunch of XSD files in my assembly as embedded content that are read out via reflection and streams. My app creates the XML on the fly, and I want to validate it using the schema files embedded in my assembly.

Unfortunately, my problem is that every element is coming up invalid.
Here is the code:

Public Sub Validate(ByVal XmlText As String) Dim strmXML As New System.IO.Memor yStream(System.

Re: Cannot Validate XML with XSD created from stream.

I'll take a look ... can you answer my questions?

Nothing jumps out at me right away. Have you tried to validate instance documents from both of the namespaces ( the FedEx one and the m_strmSchema one)?

Did you make sure that the stream and the FedEx call returned valid schemas?

Did you validate the instance document reading the schemas from a file?

Can you post schemas and an instance document that fails to validate?

Re: Cannot Validate XML with XSD created from stream.

Rob,

You're instance document not prefixing any elements is fine because the
schemas you posted do not define a targetNamespace that the type defintions
would belong to.

The FDXShared schema you posted is not complete which poses problems
reproducing your issue.

When I am trying to load the schemas your error I get the following error:

nhandled Exception: System.Xml.Sche ma.XmlSchemaExc eption: The content model
must be deterministic. Wildcard declaration along with a local element
declaration causes the content model to become ambiguous. An error occurred
at file:///D:/Documents and Settings/csc/My Documents/Visual Studio
Projects/c#/XmlSer/FDXShared.xsd, (4, 3).

Is this the same error and the same location that you are getting? If you
look at the schema you'll notice that most elements are defined to have some
defined elements plus arbitrary content: The complexType RequestHeader
element defines the children CustomTransacti onIdentifier, AccountNumber,
MeterNumber and CarrierCode, but because the compexType definition also
defines the <any> element, the RequestHeader can any other other element
from any namespace without invalidating the schema. One might argue that
this should not necessarily consititute a schema exception and abort the
validation process.

Maybe we get Dare's input if that's what's really happening and his opinion.

The problem is that all my instance documents don't have any elements that
are prefixed, so the don't reference the other namespaces.

When validating from files, I get an error that the schema is
non-deterministic. I have no Idea what this means.

Re: Cannot Validate XML with XSD created from stream.

Yes, this is the error I get when I try to just validate via files.
