Invalid URI: The Uri string is too long

Question

I am trying to grab a schema and validate against my xml.

  XmlReaderSetting settings = new System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings();
            settings.Schemas.Add(         


        

Answer 1

the problem is that the xml in your xmlreader.create function should be a uri if the argument is a string.

eg.

XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create("http://ServerName/data/books.xml", settings);

In your case the xml file is being interpreted as the url and hence it is complaining about the limit.

look at this msdn doc XmlReader.Create Method for different overloaded methods..

I am guessing you should use the TextReader one.
