.NET : How to validate XML file with DTD without DOCTYPE declaration

Question

I have an XML file with no DOCTYPE declaration that I would like to validate with an external DTD upon reading.

Dim x_set As Xml.XmlReaderSettings = New Xml.         


        

Answer 1

Could you create an Xml.XmlDocument with the DTD you want, then append the XML file data to the in-memory Xml.XmlDocument, then validate that?
