Syntax
Remarks
The System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaValidator class provides an efficient, high-performance mechanism to validate XML data against XML schemas in a push-based manner. For example, the System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaValidator class allows you to validate an XML infoset in-place without having to serialize it as an XML document and then reparse the document using a validating XML reader. The System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaValidator class can also be used to build validation engines over custom XML data sources or as a way to build a validating XML writer.
For more information about the System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaValidator class, see the XmlSchemaValidator Push-Based Validation topic.
The XmlSchemaValidationFlags.ProcessInlineSchema and XmlSchemaValidationFlags.ProcessSchemaLocation validation flags of an System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaValidator object are not set be default. Additionally, the XmlSchemaValidator.XmlResolver property of an System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaValidator object is null by default. As a result, external schemas referenced in include, imports, or redefine elements are not resolved by default.
