xml validation using inline reference

[ttdobj]

We have an xml file with a reference to the xsd.

In the VB code we ask for the xml file, which we want to load into a dataset at a later stage. But to validate the xml file against the xsd, it seems that I need to specify the location of the xsd in the VB code.

Why can't the xml methods pick up the location from the reference in the xml file?

Here is the code:

Dim MyXmlDataDocument As XmlDataDocument
Dim MyValidationEventHandler As New ValidationEventHandler(AddressOf MyValidator)

MyXmlDataDocument = New XmlDataDocument
MyXmlDataDocument.Load(ImportedFileNameAndPath)
MyXmlDataDocument.Validate(MyValidationEventHandler)
MyDataSet = MyXmlDataDocument.DataSet
...

End Sub
Private Sub MyValidator( ...
...
End Sub

What am I doing wrong?

Any help would be appreciated

Could you show a basic outline of your XML, especially how you are setting up the inline schema?

This is an example of the xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--Sample XML file generated by XMLSPY v5 rel. 2 U (

http://www.xmlspy.com)-->

<REPORT_LOCATION xmlns:xsi="

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="Location.xsd">
<CITY ID_CITY="Strin">
<LOCATION ID_LOCATION="Strin">
<SHORT_NAME_LOC>String</SHORT_NAME_LOC>
<DESC_LOCATION>String</DESC_LOCATION>
</LOCATION>
</CITY>
</REPORT_LOCATION>
