Valida an XML file

[J-T]

I'd like to validate an xml file against an Schema and 3 tables (As lookups)
online from my database. I am thinkning to return an structure like a
dataset from a webserivce and then try to load the xml into the dataset
offline and show the user the errors? Dose this appraoch work?


Thanks a lot

The XmlValidatingReader can be used for this purpose, provided you have an
XSD to run against. Another validation option is running the XML through and
XSL doc.

But where should I keep the data of my lookup tables? That's why I was
thinking of a container like dataset.

Thanks

At first sight, "Why not?, however don't forget to write the schema.

\\\
ds.WriteXml("path",XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema)
///

I hope this helps.

So you mean that I can get whatever I want from the webserivce and dump it
into the client machines(Schema + Data) and from then onwrads the client can
work offline and also to be able to connect from while to while and get the
latest schema and data,right?

Thanks
