Validate A String Of XML Against An XML Schema File?
Apr 21, 2009
I'm developing a VB Web Application in .NET3.5 using Visual Studio 2008. I'm having difficulty in validating some XML as a string before I add it to a HTML form to post to a 3rd party. I have an XML schema file from the 3rd party to validate against and at this point I'd like the application to perform the validation before each post.
After searching I've found references to a XmlValidatingReader but this is obsolete and I'm having difficulty finding another way to do it. Also all the good examples are in C# - for now I'm stuck with VB. This is what I have so far which I'm looking for with! Public Function ValidateXML(ByVal strXML As String) As Boolean

I need a regular expression that can validate that a string is an alphanumeric comma delimited string.
Examples:
123, 4A67, GGG, 767 would be valid.
12333, 78787&*, GH778 would be invalid
fghkjhfdg8797< would be invalid
This is what I have so far, but isn't quite right: ^(?=.*[a-zA-Z0-9][,]).*$

I need to have some of my columns in an integer value not string.So from I can tell so far and I am extremely limited, if I use WriteXml this should write the schema and the data and the readxml will read the schema and the data, although I dont see the schema in my xml file that gets created from my oDS.WriteXml/if I use oDs.WriteSchema I can view the schema file that is created. Thats how I determined the schema is creating all string vlaues for each column..All the fields are of String value as was pointed out, so how do i create my own schema file? or rewrite the one that is created.[code]

a. DefaultMSISchemaFile
b. DefaultMSMSchemaFile
and both exist, at this point I am not sure what to do other then re-installing VB

I have created an xml schema and an xml file from a datatable. I am now trying to read that data in which is working fine. I can access the data but the problem is that I want to know how many Tables there are in the xml file. For example the setup looks like this: [code] I want to know how many "<table>" objects there are.

I have an untyped-Dataset with two related DataTables, and I have a grid bound to the parent DataTable. I used the WriteXMLSchema() method of the parent DataTable in order to save the schema in a xml file. Then I opened the file with the Notepad, deleted two columns from the schema file and saved it. After that, I used the ReadXMLSchema() of this DataTable but -contrary to what I would have thought- the DataTable's structure was unchanged. Using the debugger I noticed that after calling the method the number of columns was the same. Why? How can I make the DataTable's schema to be changed by using a file?
notice that I am using the DataTable's methods and not the Dataset's because I do not want to touch the child DataTable.

I have large lists of account numbers in an array to validate. They have distinct patterns of characters so ve decided RegEx is the best method. As it is I loop through every element and match. Is there a better way? I saw they Array.TrueForAll Generic Method but after messing with it a bit it seemed that I would have to write a separate function negating the benefit.

I have a form that a user inputs either A B C or D into a text box. I need to validate that one of those four letters has been entered in the text box. I am using a case statement but I think an array might work better but I can't figure out how to validate a string in an array. Or if there is a better way to use the case statement...Here is my code snippet This works, but it seems like it is the long way to do it. Also as soon as I click OK on the message box it immediatly goes and shows my next form. How do I get it validate, let the user redo, and then bring up the other form?

I want to validate xml against XSD (VB.NET). My function look like this:
Private Function ValidateXML(ByVal xml As MemoryStream, ByVal xsd As String) As ArrayList End Function
How can I do the validation when my xml is a memorystream/stream (I use stream because I don't need to store the xml) and my xsd is a string (I get my xsd from a web servise as a string, and I do not need to store it in a file)?

I have written an import routine, that imports a textfile into a database table, using a schema.ini.In the input file, 3 fields are seperated, that should be concatenated in the import-routine. Does anyone know how I can make that happen...Small part of the import-routine, first lines are the last lines of the programatically created schema.ini.
Code:
PrintLine(intFile, "Col11=mededelingen1 Text")
PrintLine(intFile, "Col12=mededelingen2 Text")

i have been coding for years, but never integrated XML. So I guess I'm a newbie. I have inserted an XSD file in my project, ARequest.xsd. I created a folder in my project called XML just to organize things, so this file ARequest.xsd, is in this folder.
Now I have a form that displays data from a database that has the same fields that are in this XSD file. Can I load the XSD file into my Windows Form, load the elements from the data on the windows form and then create an XML file then send it? If so how? Any code snippets would be helpful. Now I do know how to create the XML file, we'll call it Test as

I would like to check the format of a string value (contained in a variable) before using it in further code.
- It must be 8 characters in length (no more, no less)
- It must be in the following format: 2 digits + 1 letter + 5 digits
I imagine the VB.NET code would be something along the lines of:If CStr(strMediaNum) (...not in the form [2 digits + 1 letter + 5 digits]...) Or (...datalength not equal to eight characters...) Then Exit Sub EndIf

I am using this regex string in one of my programs to validate email adresses: "^[a-z0-9._%+-]+@[a-z0-9.-]+.[a-z]{2,4}$". This works well for the most part, but I just found out that it doesn't catch an address like this ... "john.doe.@yahoo.com" ... where there's a "." right before the "@", which is invalid, so my program tries to send it & throws an exception. How to modify my regex string to catch this situation?

is there any function to validate if a string has only numerical characters? I can cross character for character and verify if it is a number. But I look for something simpler or if already a function like that exists.
I cannot use IsNumeric or IsDigit because it returns numbers to True with point or comma.
I need only numeric characters (no comma nor points

I am having a problem with my program that is desinged to read a 3rd party text file database. I posted previosuly about a problem inserting an item in a new row and the column was expectig a different data type. It appears that sometimes the column is being determined to be of decimal value, I dont understand why. the fields contain information such as
Col1
F123456
CLW-12321 etc....
So my column fills with
123456
12321 the letters just get chopped off
So I added MaxScanRows = 0 to my schema file and that took care of the problem
Except now several of my columns that contain Date Values are coming back
9/24/2010 00:00:00
without the setting MaxScanRows = 0
The date returned 9/24/2010
Here is the code for my schema ini file I am creating:
HTML
Dim fs As New FileStream("Schema.ini", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write)
Dim writer As New StreamWriter(fs)
[CODE]............
I have been trying different settings hence the dimmed out lines
Here is the code to fill the datatable:
HTML
[CODE].............
I am thinking that without the MaxScanRows = 0 setting the datatype for Col1 is being incorrectly determined
I am not sure what is happening with other columns that contain date values. Apparently If i use MaxScan Rows=0 all columns are being pulled over as string value which creates numerous problems. If I dont use maxscanrows then all columns appear to be correct except Col21 MLSNUM which is being pulled in as a decimal. Can I change that in the schema file?

Good Evening! I am attempting to write a code so that someone can enter characters into a text box and then press a button which will validate the string and then count the number of uppercase letters in the displayed text. I also have a button that will allow lowercase tabulation. However I cannot get either to work or display in the associated text boxes.

I have an xml file that I download from a secure site every 5 minutes, I have the application set to download at 3 minutes after the hour so it runs at 3, 8, 13, and so on. The file is supposed to be there within a minute after the 5 minute increment has occured however this is not always the case, so I changed the download time from 2 minutes after the hour to 3 minutes. However I am still running into issues with it not being there even then. What I want to do is validate the downloaded xml file to ensure that the data is there and if it is not wait 10 seconds and rerun the download again.
if the file is valid it will call the SQL import Sub (),if not it needs to delete the existing file and rerun the download sub again.The problem I am having is that all the examples that I have seen when I google are for validating the xml file prior to upload or upon the xml files creation.

I am working on a VB.NET windows applications. It reads data from a text file and inserts them into SQL server DB using SQL Bulk copy.I want to validate the length of all the fields in the file. The maximum length allowed for evey field is stored in tbFieldLength table. File has 50 columns and 10,000 rows and the values are separated by '|' symbol.
If the length of a value in any row is greater than the length specified in the tbFieldLength table, I want throw an error with exact row and column details. For example,saying
"Lenght of the value in Row 6, Column 20 is greater than the expected length"Also, I want to identify all the places if the error occurs in multiple locations. What is the best way to validate the length of fields in the text file?
