Hi, I need some help...

Im trying to use XmlValidatingParser with a custom XmlResolver. Im
finding, however, that the custom resolver never gets called, and that
the XmlValidatingParser acts as a non-validating parser

I created a custom resolver called XmlBreakingResolver, whos GetEntity
and ResolveUri methods have breakpoints set in them along with
Debug.Assert(false). The breakpoints are never reached, and the the
Asserts never throw.

I know my data is good because, when I load the schema into the
Schemas property of the ValidatingReader instead of trying to use the
XmlResolver, all seems to work properly.

Searching on the web, I found a few references to XmlResolvers not
being called, but no solutions. has anyone struck this problem, and/or
can anyone suggest a solution...

Any help greatly appreciated...

Heres my code:

XmlValidatingReader vr = new XmlValidatingReader(new
XmlTextReader(input));
vr.XmlResolver = new XmlBreakingResolver();;
vr.Namespaces = true;
vr.ValidationType = ValidationType.Schema;

Console.WriteLine("------------------");
while (vr.Read())
{
XmlSchemaType type = vr.SchemaType as XmlSchemaType;
Console.WriteLine("{0} {1} {2}", vr.NodeType, vr.Name, type !=
null ? ":"+type.Name : "");
}
Console.WriteLine("------------------");


heres my data:

Heres My resolver:
class XmlBreakingResolver : XmlResolver
{

System.Net.ICredentials _credentials = null;
public override System.Net.ICredentials Credentials
{
set { this._credentials = value; }
}


public override object GetEntity(Uri uri, string role, Type type)
{
Debug.Assert(false);
return null;
}

public override Uri ResolveUri(Uri uri, string relative)
{
Debug.Assert(false);
return base.ResolveUri(uri, relative);
}

Well, your XML document has no reference to a schema and you don't
provide schema for http://ReflectionXmlSerializer/1/1 namespace in your
C# code - how do you think XmlValidatingReader is supposed to figure out
where the schema is? So you hacve either add xsi:schemaLocation
attribute to your document or add the schema to
XmlValidatingReader.Schemas collection.

Thanks for your response Oleg. I thought that XmlValidatingReader used
the namespace declarations to find the schema through the XmlResolver.
