BUG: XML Tools: Date and Date Time Fields Do Not Validate for Correct Days per Month (278741)

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce This Behavior

To reproduce this behavior, assume you have an XML document containing the following lines:

<BlankSpecification>
<Record1 Date1="1999-02-31"></Record1>
<Record1 Date2="1999-02-31T00:00:00"></Record1>
<Record1 Date3="1999-02-31T00:00:00-08:00"></Record1>
</BlankSpecification>
				

When you validate this instance against a schema where Date1 is set as a Date format, Date2 is set as Date Time format, and Date3 is set as Date Time.tz, the BizTalk Editor only returns an error for the last date (the one using Date Time.tz). The first two dates generate no errors even though they are invalid, because the month of February never has more than 29 days.

Example

Spec.exe is an example BizTalk schema that can be used to illustrate this validation error. The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:
