dotnet xml: My xsd has the following element:
<xs:element name="Company" minOccurs="0">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:minLength value="1" />
<xs:maxLength value="5" />
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>

when i change the maxLength to what i really want(64) it seems to
ignore both. Is it me or is there something i am not seeing. Below is
my validation routine in my .net program.
XmlTextReader xml = new XmlTextReader(SaveLocation);
XmlValidatingReader xsd = new XmlValidatingReader(xml);
xsd.ValidationType = ValidationType.Schema;
xsd.ValidationEventHandler += new
ValidationEventHandler(MyValidationEventHandler);
while (xsd.Read())
{
if(xsd.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)
{
switch(xsd.Name)
{
case "data":
break;
case "lead":
numOfleadNodes +=1;
columnCount=0;
break;
default:
columnCount +=1;
break;
}
string parentElementName = xsd.Name;
columnName=xsd.AttributeCount.ToString();
}
}
xsd.Close();
xml.Close();


thanks

There are problems with the XML that you posted. In the XML, Company,
First_Name and Last_Name have no content and in the schema they have a
minLength facet of 1. So this will not validate.

I fixed that by putting minLength=0 on the types, and it validates fine for
me for all values of maxLength (yes I tried 64 as well). What error or
behavior do you see which leads you to believe that there is a problem?

Thanks.
