XMLNode.Validate Method

  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word
Assembly:
Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.dll

Validates an individual XMLNode control against the attached XML schema or schemas.

public:
 void Validate();
public void Validate ();
abstract member Validate : unit -> unit
Public Sub Validate ()

Examples

The following code example sets the text value of an XMLNode and validates the node by using the Validate method. The example then uses the ValidationStatus property to determine whether the node validated. If the node did not validate, then the example uses the ValidationErrorText property to display the validation error message. This example assumes that the current document contains an XMLNode named CustomerAddress1Node. If CustomerAddress1Node maps to a schema element that has an integer data type, then the validation will fail.

private void ValidateNode()
{
    this.CustomerAddress1Node.NodeText = "Nineteen Hundred";
    this.CustomerAddress1Node.Validate();

    if (this.CustomerAddress1Node.ValidationStatus ==
        Word.WdXMLValidationStatus.wdXMLValidationStatusOK)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("'" + this.CustomerAddress1Node.BaseName +
            "' validates.");
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show("'" + this.CustomerAddress1Node.BaseName +
            "': " + this.CustomerAddress1Node.ValidationErrorText[false]);
    }
}

Private Sub ValidateNode()
    Me.CustomerAddress1Node.NodeText = "Nineteen Hundred"
    Me.CustomerAddress1Node.Validate()

    If Me.CustomerAddress1Node.ValidationStatus = _
        Word.WdXMLValidationStatus.wdXMLValidationStatusOK Then
        MsgBox("'" & Me.CustomerAddress1Node.BaseName & "' validates.")
    Else
        MsgBox("'" & Me.CustomerAddress1Node.BaseName & _
            "': " & Me.CustomerAddress1Node.ValidationErrorText(False))
    End If
End Sub

Remarks

Use the Validate method with the ValidationStatus and ValidationErrorText properties to determine whether an XML element is valid according to the applied schema and what error text to display to the user. Use the SetValidationError method to override the schema violations with custom validation errors.

When you run the Validate method, Microsoft Office Word populates the XMLSchemaViolations collection with the XML nodes that have validation errors.
