Hi We have the following problem: We get at the validation of an XML file against the corresponding schema an internal exception in the XML reader. (Validation of an XML file according to MSDN Help) The exception occurs also in the Visual Studio designer, this exception appears in the Error list when the XML file is loaded with the schema. The XML and the schema should be valid. It occurs with the following XML file and schema: open Trans 2.1fd -> Http://www.opentrans.org/ -> \ Documents and files \ files openTRANS 2.1 \ openTRANS 2.1 (final draft - draft) \ openTRANS 2.1fd english all-in-one package These are the schema and a sample file, which we want to validate. Can someone confirm this error? How can I fix this error in Visual Studio or in my code? Bye knoxi

Which exception exactly do you get? Which code exactly do you use to try to validate? -- Martin Honnen --- MVP XML http://msmvps.com/blogs/martin_honnen/

I used following code: Dim XMLDoc As IO.TextReader = New IO.TextReader(pathXMLfile) Dim schemaSet As New Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaSet() schemaSet.Add(Nothing, New XmlTextReader(New IO.StringReader(strXSD))) schemaSet.Compile() 'define settings for load xml Dim settings As New Xml.XmlReaderSettings AddHandler settings.ValidationEventHandler, AddressOf ValidationCallBack settings.ValidationType = Xml.ValidationType.Schema settings.ValidationFlags = Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaValidationFlags.ReportValidationWarnings settings.Schemas = schemaSet 'load xml m_xmlReader = New Xml.XmlTextReader(XMLDoc) Using xmlReader As Xml.XmlReader = Xml.XmlReader.Create(m_xmlReader, settings) 'read xml with validation Do While xmlReader.Read() '-> here the exception occures when the reader steps over xml-line 32 (element: PHONE) ' step over xml file Loop End Using Bye knoxi
