Hi,
I'm trying to validate an XML document against an XSD schema and I receive
the following error:

----------
MyCode.CreateValidRequest : System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException :
Validation error: The element 'http://xmlns.somewhere.com/something:rDetail'
cannot contain text. Expected 'http://xmlns.somewhere.com/something:AList'.
An error occurred at , (1, 533).
----------

There doesn't seem to be much information about this error - could anyone
please help? I've included the schema fragment and sample XML below.

I'm using an XmlValidatingReader to perform the validation.

e.g.
....
XmlValidatingReader vr = new XmlValidatingReader(new
XmlTextReader(message.Stream));
vr.Schemas.Add(this.schemaCache);
vr.ValidationEventHandler += this.validateEventHandler; //<--THIS gets fired
with my error message
vr.ValidationType = ValidationType.Schema;
while (vr.Read())
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine (vr.Name + " " + vr.Value);
} ;
....

Thanks,
Bill

Since the content of RDetali is element only , it neither allows text or any
significant whitespaces. Please make sure you do not have any whitespaces in
the content of the RDetail. I stripped your data of whitespaces, and could
validate without problems.
