I'm trying to validate a XML file with XSD, but I get a "Could not find schema information for the element 'xxx'" for each element and attribute.

My C# code is:

public ReadeXmlFile(string FilePath)
{
    var settings = new XmlReaderSettings
    {
       IgnoreComments = true, 
       ValidationType = ValidationType.Schema,
       CheckCharacters=true,
       ValidationFlags= XmlSchemaValidationFlags.ReportValidationWarnings
    };
    settings.ValidationEventHandler += settings_ValidationEventHandler;
    var xsdReader = new XmlTextReader("KeyEmFileSchema.xsd");
    settings.Schemas.Add(null, xsdReader);

    using (var reader = XmlTextReader.Create(FilePath, settings))
    {
       while (reader.Read()){}
    }
}

void settings_ValidationEventHandler(object sender, ValidationEventArgs e)
{
     Debug.WriteLine(e.Severity + " - " + e.Message);
}

My XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

Hi Magol

according to your schema you have a wrong node inside of your xml :

<groupp text="rad 1">

Just group or key element could be inserted at that level.

Concerning your specific problem try to use the next root node inside your schema file :

<xs:schema id="FileSchema"
    elementFormDefault="qualified"
    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
>
...
</xs:schema>

+1  A: 

If you defined schema in the KeyEmFileSchema.xsd file you can use schemaLocation instead of noNamespaceSchemaLocation:

<keyem description="test"
      xmlns="http://tempuri.org/KeyEmFileSchema.xsd"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
      xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://tempuri.org/KeyEmFileSchema.xsd KeyEmFileSchema.xsd"
>

which defines file name (it can be with the path if required) where the definition http://tempuri.org/KeyEmFileSchema.xsd can be found and used. Then you can use

XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings ();
settings.ValidationType = ValidationType.Schema;
settings.IgnoreWhitespace = true;
settings.IgnoreComments = true;
settings.ValidationFlags = XmlSchemaValidationFlags.ProcessSchemaLocation;

XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create (xmlFilePath, settings);

If you want you can additionally use ValidationEventHandler. Without the handler you will receive exception with the information about validation errors.

UPDATED: By the way after including of xmlns="http://tempuri.org/KeyEmFileSchema.xsd" and xsi:schemaLocation="http://tempuri.org/KeyEmFileSchema.xsd KeyEmFileSchema.xsd" in the root element of your xml file you will be seen already in Visual Studio Text Editor the errors in your XML file:

  1. Usage of the undeclared attribute description in keyem element.
  2. Usage of all attributes in layout element which are also undeclared.
  3. Usage of groupp element instead of group.

UPDATED 2: The requirement number 3: to replace groupp to group is clear. Because nobody commented my answer I suppose that somebody ask "what is wrong with attributes of the XML file?". OK I have to comment this more.

The problem in your XSD file is that you declare attributes as NOT a part of some simple types, attribute group or attributes of some element. You just declare some "independent" attributes and then use there per "ref" reference. It is in general possible, but this way require usage of qualified attributes. So if you make no changes in your schema the fixed version of your XML file will be following

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

        </group>

</layout>
</keyem>

A small remark: <empty> element is wrong defined in your schema, so to follow the schema we have to use it like <empty><empty/></empty>.

Another version of possible changes (which you will probably prefer) is to place all attributes in the definition of elements or attribute group. Usage of simple types in your case seems me not needed. So the fixed version of the schema can be following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

Oleg
Thanks for the detailed answer. I knew that groupp was misspelled, it was a deliberate error I done to see if the validation worked (but forgot to correct it when I published this). And that I was careless with <empty> I discovered before.When I designed the XSD file, I followed the advice in http://www.w3schools.com/Schema/schema_example.asp. When I corrected the obvious errors, I could validate my xml file. I do not understand the problem with "qualified attributes".
magol
@magol: I suggest that you look at the problem from the other side. I see from your code, that you use C# and Visual Studio. After I discovered one day the power of `xsi:schemaLocation` attribute I write always schema and then XML with the `xsi:schemaLocation`. I see immediately whether **my environment** understand what I write or not. If you try to use your schema in Visual Studio it understand the attributes which you defined only if there "qualified attributes". If is is a Microsoft bug you can't change it. So from the practical side you **because you use MS .NET** you should write for it.
Oleg
@magol: The XML Schema defined in http://www.w3.org/XML/Schema is **very complex** One divided specification in two parts and one additional part 0 (which is not an official standard) **because it is so complex**. So it is much better to write so that different interpretation of XSD understand your schema correct. Be simple!
Oleg
@magol: In the modified version of schema from my answer I used attribute groups which I find practical. If you define some simple type like `ColorType` or `LayoutTypeSet` I find is also very practical, but I don't see any **real advantage** of definition of separate attribute like `macro` and use `ref` to it. So in my opinion the modified schema which I suggest is written mostly in your style (only without unbind attributes). Why not just use this way? All (inclusive .NET) will understand it. Where you see any disadvantage?
Oleg
@magol: Sorry, that I write so much, but... You wrote, that you used http://www.w3schools.com/Schema/schema_example.asp as a template. The example is really define a Schema **without a namespace** or with **no namespace** because one use no `targetNamespace` here. It is very important! Exactly for the case the `xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation` is introduced (for schema with **no namespace**). In your schema use **do define** the schema target namespace so you **have to use** `xsi:schemaLocation` which are defined exactly for the case (see http://www.edankert.com/grammars/xsd.referencing.html).
Oleg
I very much appreciate your thorough response. You have convinced me, and I choose to follow your recommendation. However, I have a small problem remains. My XML file and XSD file is not in the same location, and VS2010 complains about the line xsi:schemalocation="http://tempuri.org/KeyEmFileSchema.xsd KeyEmFileSchema.xsd". It tries to find my xsd file in the same location as my xml fil. How can I make it find the xsd file. I do not want to hardcode the path in the xml file.
magol
@magol: The `xsi:schemalocation` attribute has the form "namespace xsd-path". So If you have the `KeyEmFileSchema.xsd` not in the same directory you should change the path which are after the blank. For example `xsi:schemalocation="http://tempuri.org/KeyEmFileSchema.xsd mySubDir/KeyEmFileSchema.xsd"` will work. The path part of the `xsi:schemalocation` attribute you can write as a url form also.
Oleg
So I can not tell Visual Studio where to search for the xsd file?
magol
@magol: You can do this, but you should get Visual Studio information about the path of the xsd file. You can you either a relative path form like `xsi:schemalocation="http://tempuri.org/KeyEmFileSchema.xsd mySubDir/KeyEmFileSchema.xsd"` (if `KeyEmFileSchema.xsd` in in the subdrirectory `mySubDir` relative to the `KeyEmFileSchema.xml`) or use an absolute path form `xsi:schemalocation="http://tempuri.org/KeyEmFileSchema.xsd FullXsdPath"`. I tried this just now in Visual Studio and it works without any problem. If I write a wrong path Visual Studio show me an error, but with correct path - OK.
