I'm using XML serialization with XmlSerializer. Before I read a document I try to validate it against XSD to determine the correct version to select.
The validation succeeds - but should fail!
My validation code is:
var schemaSet = new XmlSchemaSet();
schemaSet.Add(null, XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(xsd)));
var document = XDocument.Load(new StringReader(xml));
var hasErrors = false;
document.Validate(schemaSet, (s, e) => hasErrors = true);
Console.WriteLine("Document has erros: {0}", hasErrors);
if (hasErrors == false)
Console.WriteLine("!!!! THIS DOCUMENT IS VALID !!!!");
Output is:
Document has erros: False
!!!! THIS DOCUMENT IS VALID !!!!
Also the code suggested by MSDN will validate successfully (also included in DEMO - commented out):
var settings = new XmlReaderSettings();
settings.Schemas.Add(null, XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(xsd)));
settings.ValidationType = ValidationType.Schema;
settings.ValidationFlags = XmlSchemaValidationFlags.ReportValidationWarnings;
settings.Schemas.Compile();
var contentReader = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(xml), settings);
var document = new XmlDocument();
document.Load(contentReader);
var hasErrors = false;
document.Validate((s, e) => hasErrors = true);
Console.WriteLine("Document has erros: {0}", hasErrors);
if (hasErrors == false)
Console.WriteLine("!!!! THIS DOCUMENT IS VALID !!!!");
The XSD for testing was stripped down to only one type containing only one property:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema
targetNamespace="http://www.xxx.de/V1_1/LightningChartConfiguration"
elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.xxx.de/V1_1/LightningChartConfiguration" xmlns:tns="http://www.xxx.de/V1/Common" xmlns:pref="http://www.xxx.de/V1/Triggers">

</xsd:simpleType>
</xsd:element>

The XML to test is:

The XML is obviously much too large and contains a lot more tags as allowed by XSD. Nevertheless the XSD-Validation succeeds without any errors. The only tag allowed in XSD is version
that has a restriction to V1_1
wheras in XML it is V1_0
.
I created a DEMO that reproduces this wired behaviour.
What am I missing here? What do I need to do to make the XSD validation work as expected?
If you copy the XSD and XML to e.g. this page the validation will fail as expected.
