When I run this code code I get this error:
The data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 39.

I can't work out what the error is. Can you???

original code:
Dim oRead As XmlTextReader
Dim oValid As XmlValidatingReader

Try
oRead = New XmlTextReader("C:\custdoc.xml")
oValid = New XmlValidatingReader(oRead)

AddHandler oValid.ValidationEventHandler, New Schema.ValidationEventHandler(AddressOf ValidationError)
oValid.Schemas.Add("newschema", "C:\custschema.xsd")
oValid.ValidationType = ValidationType.Auto

Do While oValid.Read
'let validation do its thing
Loop...
