XmlValidatingReader class is obsolete

Question

I am using XmlValidatingReader object to validat my object against a xsd schema but this class is obsolete in .NEt 2.0. Does any one have the right code to use the new Vaildation classes.

Answer 1

Yes:

XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings();

settings.ValidationType = ValidationType.Schema;
settings.Schemas.Add ( .... );
settings.ValidationEventHandler += delegate( object sender, ValidationEventArgs e )
{
    Console.WriteLine("invalid: " + e.Message);
};

XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create (new XmlTextReader(file), settings);

Answer 2

Check the MSDN documentation for XmlValidatingReader and you'll see in the [ObsoleteAttribute] attribute this:

"Use XmlReader created by XmlReader.Create() method using appropriate XmlReaderSettings instead. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=14202"
