Validating some XML against a DTM / Schema?

[Pure Krome]

Hello All.

I have a program that accepts some XML.

Now, this program can accept ANY STRING, which is bad.

I wish to check the input string by loading it into an XML Dom, and seeing if it's parsed ok. [This i can do].

If it's parsed ok, i need to check to see if the XML content conforms to my XML Schema / DTD (so i know they have passed well parsed, and well comformed XML).


How do i check if the well parsed XML is WELL COMFORMED?

How do i check the XML against an XML Schema / Dtd?


Thank you for any help, and Merry X-Mas

Using MS XML Parser v4.0, You can instantiate a DOMDocument40 object and the document's parseError property will expose well-formedness against any internal DTDs. If you use External DTDs then you must use the resolveExternal method. In the case of Schemas, you can instantiate a SchemaCache40 object and valdate against it.
