SIMPLIFY XML VALIDATION WITH .NET   
  
In most cases, the same application creates and consumes XML files. 
However, Web services place greater emphasis on standardized XML, which is 
why XML developers need to be proficient in XML validation. While XML 
allows for incredible flexibility (and therefore cutting corners) in how
you envelop and transfer data, XML parsers are far more discriminating.   
  
The .NET Framework offers several handy features that are designed to 
make XML validation relatively simple. In order to leverage these .NET 
features, you must have a solid grasp of XML schemas and the demands of an 
XML validator. Otherwise, the XML shortcuts will only make your XML parser 
issues more complex.   
  
This article discusses how to validate XML using .NET, and lays out the 
XML fundamentals necessary to employ this .NET functionality. Find out 
how you can pave the way for Web service consumption of your XML-based
data by using existing .NET features.
