.NET:如何在没有DOCTYPE声明的情况下使用DTD验证XML文件

我有一个没有DOCTYPE声明的XML文件,我想在阅读时使用外部DTD进行验证.

Dim x_set As Xml.XmlReaderSettings = New Xml.XmlReaderSettings()
x_set.XmlResolver = Nothing
x_set.CheckCharacters = False
x_set.ProhibitDtd = False
x = XmlTextReader.Create(sChemin, x_set)

如何设置外部DTD的路径？你如何验证？

我以前成功使用过以下功能,应该很容易适应.然而,这依赖于创建一个XmlDocument作为magnifico提到.这可以通过以下方式实现:

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load( filename );
doc.InsertBefore( doc.CreateDocumentType( "doc_type_name", null, DtdFilePath, null ), 
    doc.DocumentElement );


/// 

/// Class to test a document against DTD
/// 
/// XML The document to validate
private static bool ValidateDoc( XmlDocument doc )
{
    bool isXmlValid = true;
    StringBuilder xmlValMsg = new StringBuilder();

    StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
    doc.Save( sw );
    doc.Save( TestFilename );

    XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings();
    settings.ProhibitDtd = false;
    settings.ValidationType = ValidationType.DTD;
    settings.ValidationFlags = XmlSchemaValidationFlags.ReportValidationWarnings;
    settings.ValidationEventHandler += new ValidationEventHandler( delegate( object sender, ValidationEventArgs args )
    {
        isXmlValid = false;
        xmlValMsg.AppendLine( args.Message );
    } );

    XmlReader validator = XmlReader.Create( new StringReader( sw.ToString() ), settings );

    while( validator.Read() )
    {
    }
    validator.Close();

    string message = xmlValMsg.ToString();
    return isXmlValid;
}
