Help me convert .NET 1.1 Xml validation code to .NET 2.0 please.

Answer 1

Basically, it's telling you to use the XmlReaderSettings instead of the XmlValidatingReader, which was deprecated.

Personally I'm not going to do the conversion, I think that you actually doing that will be good for your coding development, so here is some resources:

Look at the overloads of the XmlReader.Create() method, specifically this one.

Then have a look at the different properties associated with the XmlReaderSettings class: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmlreadersettings_members.aspx

Give it a try, see what happens and if your still having problems, ask another question :)

1. Replace throw new ConfigurationException(....) with

   throw new ConfigurationErrorsException(....)

2. Replace XmlValidatingReader vreader = new XmlValidatingReader(...) with

---

var vreader = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(section.OuterXml), 
                               new XmlReaderSettings
                               {
                                  ValidationType = ValidationType.Schema
                               });
