Validates the element in the current context.

Overloads

ValidateElement(String, String, XmlSchemaInfo)	Validates the element in the current context.
ValidateElement(String, String, XmlSchemaInfo, String, String, String, String)	Validates the element in the current context with the `xsi:Type`, `xsi:Nil`, `xsi:SchemaLocation`, and `xsi:NoNamespaceSchemaLocation` attribute values specified.

Source:: XmlSchemaValidator.cs

Source:: XmlSchemaValidator.cs

Source:: XmlSchemaValidator.cs

Validates the element in the current context.

public:
 void ValidateElement(System::String ^ localName, System::String ^ namespaceUri, System::Xml::Schema::XmlSchemaInfo ^ schemaInfo);

public void ValidateElement (string localName, string namespaceUri, System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaInfo? schemaInfo);

public void ValidateElement (string localName, string namespaceUri, System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaInfo schemaInfo);

member this.ValidateElement : string * string * System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaInfo -> unit

Public Sub ValidateElement (localName As String, namespaceUri As String, schemaInfo As XmlSchemaInfo)

Parameters

localName: String

The local name of the element to validate.

namespaceUri: String

The namespace URI of the element to validate.

schemaInfo: XmlSchemaInfo

An XmlSchemaInfo object whose properties are set on successful validation of the element's name. This parameter can be null.

Exceptions

XmlSchemaValidationException

The element's name is not valid in the current context.

InvalidOperationException

The ValidateElement method was not called in the correct sequence. For example, the ValidateElement method is called after calling ValidateAttribute.

Examples

The following example validates the contosoBooks.xml file against the contosoBooks.xsd schema. The example uses the XmlSerializer class to deserialize the contosoBooks.xml file and pass the value of the nodes to the methods of the XmlSchemaValidator class.

Remarks

The following are important notes to consider when using the ValidateElement method.

If the element name is successfully validated in the current context, the XmlSchemaInfo object's (if specified) IsNil, SchemaType, SchemaElement, and Validity properties are set with the results of the validation.
If the element name or any of its attributes are invalid the current context, the Validity property is set to Invalid; otherwise the Validity property is set to NotKnown.

Public Sub ValidateElement (localName As String, namespaceUri As String, schemaInfo As XmlSchemaInfo, xsiType As String, xsiNil As String, xsiSchemaLocation As String, xsiNoNamespaceSchemaLocation As String)

Parameters

localName: String

The local name of the element to validate.

namespaceUri: String

The namespace URI of the element to validate.

schemaInfo: XmlSchemaInfo

An XmlSchemaInfo object whose properties are set on successful validation of the element's name. This parameter can be null.

xsiType: String

The xsi:Type attribute value of the element. This parameter can be null.

xsiNil: String

The xsi:Nil attribute value of the element. This parameter can be null.

xsiSchemaLocation: String

The xsi:SchemaLocation attribute value of the element. This parameter can be null.

xsiNoNamespaceSchemaLocation: String

The xsi:NoNamespaceSchemaLocation attribute value of the element. This parameter can be null.

Exceptions

XmlSchemaValidationException

The element's name is not valid in the current context.

InvalidOperationException

The ValidateElement method was not called in the correct sequence. For example, the ValidateElement method is called after calling ValidateAttribute.

Remarks

The following are important notes to consider when using the ValidateElement method.

If the element name is successfully validated in the current context, the XmlSchemaInfo object's (if specified) IsNil, SchemaType, SchemaElement, and Validity properties are set with the results of the validation.
If the element name or any of its attributes are invalid in the current context, the Validity property is set to Invalid; otherwise the Validity property is set to NotKnown.
If the ProcessSchemaLocation value was not passed as a parameter to the XmlSchemaValidator constructor, xsi:SchemaLocation and xsi:NoNamespaceSchemaLocation attribute values are ignored.
