Opening and validating XML File - WIndows form application

Michael

I am looking to design a windows form application that opens an XML file and validates the syntax, very similar to the function on this w3schools page http://www.w3schools.com/dom/dom_validate.asp
I am fairly new to using XML so any help would be greatly appreciated :)

This does not work. I am getting errors with
if(xmlDoc.ParseError.ErrorCode!=0)
Where it is saying there is no definition for 'ParseError'. I am using .NET FW 2.0 btw.
Also, i would like the user to be able to choose the xml file they want to validate by using the openfiledialog.

all you need to do is this

XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
  xmlDoc.Async=false;
  xmlDoc.LoadXML(this.lblXml.Text);

  if(xmlDoc.ParseError.rrorCode!=0)
    {
    txt="Error Code: " + xmlDoc.ParseError.ErrorCode + "\n";
    txt=txt+"Error Reason: " + xmlDoc.ParseError.reason;
    txt=txt+"Error Line: " + xmlDoc.ParseError.line;
    alert(txt);
    }
  else
    {
    lblError.Text = "No errors found");
    }
