Validating an XML against referenced XSD in C#

Question

I have an XML file with a specified schema location such as this:

xsi:schemaLocation=\"someurl ..\\localSchemaPath.xsd\"

I want to validate

Answer 1

personally I favor validating without a callback:

public bool ValidateSchema(string xmlPath, string xsdPath)
{
    XmlDocument xml = new XmlDocument();
    xml.Load(xmlPath);

    xml.Schemas.Add(null, xsdPath);

    try
    {
        xml.Validate(null);
    }
    catch (XmlSchemaValidationException)
    {
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}
