XML Validation: required attributes

[uttara]

Hello All,
I was trying to validate an XML document against a XSD which works
fine. Then I tried to put in a version attribute on the root element and
set it to a fixed value of '1.0' in the schema. Guess what? The
validator completely ignores the attribute inspite of the fact that I
have set the attribute to be required and to have a fixed value of '1.0'.
Any ideas why that could be happening. Any help is appreciated.

Either you didn't do what you thought you did or the validator has a
problem. Which validator did you use and what are your schema/instance?

Stan,
I won't be utterly surprised if I missed out something. I am using the
XMLValidatingRe ader. Here is the schema I am using:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xs:schema id="Schema" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="Products" >
<xs:complexType >
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="ItemCode" minOccurs="1"
maxOccurs="unbo unded">
<xs:complexType >
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="SKU" type="xs:string "
minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbo unded" />
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="code" type="xs:string " />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="schemaVer sion" type="xs:decima l"
use="required" fixed="1.0" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>

Here is the instance
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Products schemaVersion=" 1.1">
<ItemCode code="10098"></ItemCode>
<ItemCode code="10047">
<SKU>0023</SKU>
<SKU>0025</SKU>
</ItemCode>
</Products>

Thanks again,
Uttara

Re: XML Validation: required attributes

I get the following warning using .net 2.0: "The value of the
'schemaVersion' attribute does not equal its fixed value."

Re: XML Validation: required attributes

Hmm...what if we take out the schemaVersion attribute from the root
element so it looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>[color=blue]
> <Products>
> <ItemCode code="10098"></ItemCode>
> <ItemCode code="10047">
> <SKU>0023</SKU>
> <SKU>0025</SKU>
> </ItemCode>
> </Products>[/color]

Re: XML Validation: required attributes

This should be invalid since the version attribute is required.

Re: XML Validation: required attributes

The following code does produce the warning:
"The value of the 'schemaVersion' attribute does not equal its fixed
value."


static void Main(string[] args) {
Directory.SetCu rrentDirectory( "..\\..");

ValidationEvent Handler handler = new
ValidationEvent Handler(OnValid ationEvent);
XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(" test.xml");
XmlValidatingRe ader validator = new XmlValidatingRe ader(reader);
validator.Schem as.Add(XmlSchem a.Read(new
StreamReader("t est.xsd"), handler));
validator.Valid ationType = ValidationType. Schema;
validator.Valid ationEventHandl er += handler;
while (validator.Read ()) {
}
return;
}

static void OnValidationEve nt(object sender, ValidationEvent Args e)
{
Console.WriteLi ne(e.Message);
}
