Console XML/XSD Validation Application

Could not find a decent console application to validate an XML file against multiple XSD Schema Documents so I decided to write one and share for any who may need it.

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Xml;

using System.IO;

using System.Xml.Schema;

namespace XmlValidator

{

class Program

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

int result = 0;

string documentPath = Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ApplicationBase, args[0]);

if (!File.Exists(documentPath)) throw new Exception(String.Format("The document '{0}' does not exist", documentPath));

List schemaPaths = new List();

foreach (string path in args.Skip(1))

{

string schemaPath = Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ApplicationBase, path);

if (!File.Exists(schemaPath)) throw new Exception(String.Format("The schema document '{0}' does not exist", schemaPath));

schemaPaths.Add(schemaPath);

}

using (Stream stream = File.Open(documentPath,FileMode.Open,FileAccess.Read,FileShare.ReadWrite))

{

XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings();

settings.ProhibitDtd = false;

settings.ValidationType = ValidationType.Schema;

settings.ValidationFlags = XmlSchemaValidationFlags.ReportValidationWarnings;

settings.ValidationEventHandler += new ValidationEventHandler(

delegate(object sender, ValidationEventArgs e)

{

result = -1;

Console.Write("Line:");

Console.Write(e.Exception.LineNumber);

Console.Write(" Position:");

Console.Write(e.Exception.LinePosition);

Console.Write(" ");

Console.Write(e.Severity.ToString("G"));

Console.Write(" ");

Console.WriteLine(e.Message);

}

);

foreach (string path in schemaPaths) settings.Schemas.Add(XmlSchema.Read(XmlReader.Create(path), null));

stream.Position = 0;

XmlReader validator = XmlReader.Create(stream, settings);

while (validator.Read()) ;

validator.Close();

}

if (result == 0) Console.WriteLine("Document is valid");

#if DEBUG

Console.ReadLine();

#endif

Environment.Exit(result);

}

}

}
