FIX: You receive an unexpected validation error message when you define a complex type with an "xsd:any" element declaration and an attribute of processContents="skip" in the .NET Framework 1.1 (890945)

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Save the following XML data as Test.xml.

   <root xmlns:xsi="http://www.proseware.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.proseware.org/2001/XMLSchema">
   	<testfield xsi:nil="false">Some value</testfield>
   </root>
   

2. Save the following XSD schema as Test.xsd in the same folder.

   <xsd:schema id="test1" xmlns:xsd="http://www.proseware.org/2001/XMLSchema">
   	<xsd:element name="root">
   	    <xsd:complexType>
   		    <xsd:sequence minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
   			    <xsd:any namespace="##any" processContents="skip" />
   		    </xsd:sequence>
   	    </xsd:complexType>
   	</xsd:element>
   </xsd:schema>
   

3. Save the following code sample as Class1.cs in the same folder.

   using System;
   using System.Xml;
   using System.Xml.Schema;
   using System.IO;
   
   namespace Test
   {
   	/// <summary>
   	/// Summary description for Class1.
   	/// </summary>
   	class Class1
   	{
   		/// <summary>
   		/// The main entry point for the application.
   		/// </summary>
   		[STAThread]
   		static void Main(string[] args)
   		{
   			Class1 cls= new Class1();
   			cls.validateXml();
   		}
   		public void validateXml()
   		{
   			//The hard-coded path does not work either.
   			FileStream stream = new FileStream("test.xml", FileMode.Open);
   			try
   			{
   				XmlValidatingReader reader= new XmlValidatingReader(stream, XmlNodeType.Document, null);
   
   				//Set the schema type as XSD schema.
   				reader.ValidationType = ValidationType.Schema;
   
   				//Add the XSD to the schema collection of the reader.
   				XmlSchemaCollection schemaCollection = reader.Schemas;
   				schemaCollection.Add("","test.xsd");
   
   				//Set the event handler.
   				reader.ValidationEventHandler += new ValidationEventHandler (ValidationHandler);
   
   				while(reader.Read());
   				System.Console.WriteLine("Validation finished.");
   			}
   			catch(XmlException ex)
   			{
   				System.Console.WriteLine("XmlException : {0}", ex.ToString());
   			}
                           System.Console.Read();
   		}
   		public static void ValidationHandler(object sender, ValidationEventArgs args)
   		{
   			System.Console.WriteLine( "***Validation error Severity:{0} Message : {1}", args.Severity,  args.Message);
   		}
   	}
   }
   

4. Compile the application by using the following command at the command prompt:

   csc /r:System.Xml.dll Class1.cs

5. Run the application.
   
   Note In the console window, you may receive the following error message:
   ***Validation error Severity:
   Error Message : If the 'nillable' attribute is false in the schema, then the 'xsi:nil' attribute must not be present in the instance.
   An error occurred at , (1, 107).
   Validation finished
