XML Validation problem

[John S]

I have a web servicce which receives an XMLDocument and then uses the
XMLDocument.Validate method to make sure it is valid.

I'm then using a ValidationEventHandler to pick up any failures.

I need to be able to store those failures in some way so that they can be
returned to the calling process.

I tried using an arraylist but VB tells me it has to be shred for the
eventhandler and the other methods in the web service to all access the data.

However, making it shared means that any other calls coming in at the same
time will also access and write to it. Deffinitely not what I need!

Can anyone tell me how to do this correctly?

Thanks

That sounds like what I'm trying to do.

However, I'm using VB and although I tried to convert your example I didn't
have much luck.

Can you help?

Thanks

Thanks for your quick reply John,

No problem. Here is the VB.NET version of my test code snippet:


=======helper class===========
Public Class MyValidationHelper

Public Messages As New System.Collections.Generic.List(Of String)

Public Sub ValidationHandler(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Xml.Schema.ValidationEventArgs)

Messages.Add(e.Message)

End Sub

End Class
=====================


======use helper class in web method =======
<WebMethod()> _
Public Function TestWebMethod(ByVal doc As System.Xml.XmlDocument) As
String

Dim vhelper As New MyValidationHelper()
'validatethe xml first
doc.Validate(AddressOf vhelper.ValidationHandler)

Return "Validation Result, error count: " & vhelper.Messages.Count

End Function
End Class
==================

If there is anything else unclear, please feel free to post here.
