XMLValidation Errors

EDN Admin · May 29, 2010

I have a complicated schema I am working on and I am getting the following validation errors when I validate in VB.NET. The same schema and xml got validated in XML Spy and Stylus studio:
<p style="margin-bottom:10pt <span style="font-size:10pt; color:#505050 The element credit-card in namespace http://www.xyz.com/data has invalid child element authorization-attempts in namespace http://www.xyz.com/data.
<p style="margin-bottom:10pt <span style="font-size:10pt; color:#505050 List of possible elements expected: authorization-attempts in namespace http://www.xyz.com/data.
<p style="margin-bottom:10pt <span style="font-size:10pt; color:#505050 The element XYZPaymentType in namespace âhttp://www.xyz.com/data has invalid child element number-of-days in namespace âhttp://www.xyz.com/data .
<p style="margin-bottom:10pt <span style="font-size:10pt; color:#505050 List of possible elements expected: number-of-days in namespace âhttp://www.xyz.com/data .
<p style="margin-bottom:10pt <span style="font-size:10pt; color:#505050 The element âABCPaymentTypeâ in namespace âhttp://www.xyz.com/data has invalid child element method-and-freq in namespace âhttp://www.xyz.com/data
.


The following four schema files are being used are: 
mainschema.xsd / schema1.xsd / test-data.xsd / datatypes.xsd 
 
I have mocked up the schemas in order to explain the problem. The schemas i posted are just subset of what i have. This was the best I could do 
 
mainschema.xsd refers to schema1.xsd refers to test-data.xsd refers to datatypes.xsd 
 
I am using the following .NET code to validate:
<p style="margin-bottom:12pt <span style="font-size:10pt; color:blue Dim


Dim <span style="font-size:10pt; color:#505050 doc <span style="font-size:10pt; color:blue As
<span style="font-size:10pt; color:#505050 XmlDocument = <span style="font-size:10pt; color:blue New
<span style="font-size:10pt; color:#505050 XmlDocument()

xssInputXml.Add(" http://www.xyz.com/mainschema http://www.xyz.com/mainschema ", strXmlSchemaPath) 
 

doc.Load( 
doc.Validate( <span style="font-size:10pt; color:blue AddressOf <span style="font-size:10pt; color:#505050
ValidationEventHandler2)
<span style="font-size:10pt; color:blue If <span style="font-size:10pt; color:#505050
sbValidationErrors.ToString() =
