Question

Here is an XSD:

Answer 1

Here is the method I wrote to handle xsd validation. Hope this helps some one.

        /// 

        /// Ensure all xsd imported xsd documented are in same folder as master xsd
        /// 
        public XsdXmlValidatorResult Validate(string xmlPath, string xsdPath, string xsdNameSpace)
        {
            var result = new XsdXmlValidatorResult();
            var readerSettings = new XmlReaderSettings {ValidationType = ValidationType.Schema};
            readerSettings.ValidationFlags |= XmlSchemaValidationFlags.ProcessInlineSchema; 
            readerSettings.ValidationFlags |= XmlSchemaValidationFlags.ProcessSchemaLocation;
            readerSettings.Schemas.Add(null, xsdPath);

            readerSettings.ValidationEventHandler += (sender, args) =>
                {
                    switch (args.Severity)
                    {
                        case XmlSeverityType.Warning:
                            result.Warnings.Add(args.Message);
                            break;
                        case XmlSeverityType.Error:
                            result.IsValid = false;
                            result.Warnings.Add(args.Message);
                            break;
                    }
                };

            var reader = XmlReader.Create(xmlPath, readerSettings);

            while (reader.Read()) { }

            return result;
        }
