This is extremely trivial XML Schema Validator; I just needed to verify my XML against a Schema File. Very simple code but maybe helpful to someone.

using System;

using System.Xml;

using System.IO;

using System.Xml.Schema;

namespace XmlConsole

{

      /// <summary>

      /// Summary description for Class1.

      /// </summary>

      class Class1

      {

            private static int errors = 0;

            /// <summary>

            /// The main entry point for the application.

            /// </summary>

            [STAThread]

            static void Main(string[] args)

            {

                  try

                  {

                        // The Source XML File

                        XmlTextReader xtr = new XmlTextReader("C:\\devresult.xml");

                        XmlValidatingReader reader = new XmlValidatingReader(xtr);

                        reader.ValidationType = ValidationType.Schema;

                        // The Path of the XML Schema File against which the Validation is to be made.

                        // you can add more than one Files by using reader.Schemas.Add()

                        reader.Schemas.Add(null,new XmlTextReader(@"E:\Schema.xsd"));

                        reader.ValidationEventHandler += new ValidationEventHandler(reader_ValidationEventHandler);

                        while(reader.Read());

                        xtr.Close();

                        reader.Close();

                        if(errors == 0)

                              System.Console.WriteLine("Validation Successfull");

                        else

                              System.Console.WriteLine("Validation Failed");

                        System.Console.ReadLine();

                  }

                  catch(Exception exp)

                  {

                        System.Console.WriteLine(exp.Message);

                        errors ++;

                  }

            }

            private static void reader_ValidationEventHandler(object sender, ValidationEventArgs e)

            {

                  System.Console.WriteLine(e.Message);

            }

      }

}
