Question

I'm trying to validate an XML file with XSD, but I get a "Could not find schema information for the element 'xxx'" for each element and attribute.

My C# code is:

public ReadeXmlFile(string FilePath)
{
    var settings = new XmlReaderSettings
    {
       IgnoreComments = true, 
       ValidationType = ValidationType.Schema,
       CheckCharacters=true,
       ValidationFlags= XmlSchemaValidationFlags.ReportValidationWarnings
    };
    settings.ValidationEventHandler += settings_ValidationEventHandler;
    var xsdReader = new XmlTextReader("KeyEmFileSchema.xsd");
    settings.Schemas.Add(null, xsdReader);

    using (var reader = XmlTextReader.Create(FilePath, settings))
    {
       while (reader.Read()){}
    }
}

void settings_ValidationEventHandler(object sender, ValidationEventArgs e)
{
     Debug.WriteLine(e.Severity + " - " + e.Message);
}

My XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

Solution

If you defined schema in the KeyEmFileSchema.xsd file you can use schemaLocation instead of noNamespaceSchemaLocation:

<keyem description="test"
      xmlns="http://tempuri.org/KeyEmFileSchema.xsd"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
      xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://tempuri.org/KeyEmFileSchema.xsd KeyEmFileSchema.xsd"
>

which defines file name (it can be with the path if required) where the definition http://tempuri.org/KeyEmFileSchema.xsd can be found and used. Then you can use 

XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings ();
settings.ValidationType = ValidationType.Schema;
settings.IgnoreWhitespace = true;
settings.IgnoreComments = true;
settings.ValidationFlags = XmlSchemaValidationFlags.ProcessSchemaLocation;

XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create (xmlFilePath, settings);

If you want you can additionally use ValidationEventHandler. Without the handler you will receive exception with the information about validation errors.

UPDATED: By the way after including of xmlns="http://tempuri.org/KeyEmFileSchema.xsd" and xsi:schemaLocation="http://tempuri.org/KeyEmFileSchema.xsd KeyEmFileSchema.xsd" in the root element of your xml file you will be seen already in Visual Studio Text Editor the errors in your XML file:

  1. Usage of the undeclared attribute description in keyem element.
  2. Usage of all attributes in layout element which are also undeclared.
  3. Usage of groupp element instead of group.

UPDATED 2: The requirement number 3: to replace groupp to group is clear. Because nobody commented my answer I suppose that somebody ask "what is wrong with attributes of the XML file?". OK I have to comment this more.

The problem in your XSD file is that you declare attributes as NOT a part of some simple types, attribute group or attributes of some element. You just declare some "independent" attributes and then use there per "ref" reference. It is in general possible, but this way require usage of qualified attributes. So if you make no changes in your schema the fixed version of your XML file will be following

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<keyem xmlns="http://tempuri.org/KeyEmFileSchema.xsd"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

       xsi:schemaLocation="http://tempuri.org/KeyEmFileSchema.xsd KeyEmFileSchema.xsd"
       a:description="test" xmlns:a="http://tempuri.org/KeyEmFileSchema.xsd"

                <key a:color="Gray"  a:macro="{ESC}1B{ESC}81{MOUSERESET}" a:text="Skärm\n2"/>
                <key a:color="Gray"  a:macro="{ESC}1B{ESC}81{MOUSERESET}" a:text="Skärm\n3"/>
            </group>

        </group>

</layout>
</keyem>

A small remark: <empty> element is wrong defined in your schema, so to follow the schema we have to use it like <empty><empty/></empty>.

Another version of possible changes (which you will probably prefer) is to place all attributes in the definition of elements or attribute group. Usage of simple types in your case seems me not needed. So the fixed version of the schema can be following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

If we save the new schema in the file KeyEmFileSchema1.xsd then KeyEmFileSchema.xml file can be almost the same as you have before:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

       description="test"

OTHER TIPS

according to your schema you have a wrong node inside of your xml :

<groupp text="rad 1">

Just group or key element could be inserted at that level.

Concerning your specific problem try to use the next root node inside your schema file :

<xs:schema id="FileSchema"
    elementFormDefault="qualified"
    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
>
...
</xs:schema>
