How can I validate a XML with a local DTD??

EDN Admin · Apr 28, 2006

Hi!
 I need your help... Im trying to validate a XML file using a DTD located in my localhost, and I dont get it....
 First, I found the problem with the "ProhibitDtd" attribute, the solution: 
 // Set the validation settings.
1 XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings();
2 settings.ProhibitDtd = false;
3 settings.ValidationType = ValidationType.DTD;
4 settings.Schemas.Add( null,XmlTextReader .Create(dtdXml,settings)); 
5 settings.ValidationEventHandler += new ValidationEventHandler(MyValidationEventHandler);
 // Create the XmlReader object. 
6 XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(fichXml, settings);
 .....
 dtdXml => Path of the DTD file in my computer 

 but now, I have other problem that I have no idea how to solve it! When I load the XML file, and try to validate it, the application give me the following message of XMLException in line 4:
"ELEMENT is an unexpected token. The expected token is DOCTYPE. Línea 3, posición 3."
 I think that it could be because identify the DTD file as if it was a normal XML, but I dont know what can I do...
 Could anybody help me? Please!!
 Thank you very much!!!
