Created an attachment (id=286601)

The demo project

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.0.8)

Hi

The attached project works fine under Microsoft .NET but fails under Mono with
the following error information:
Unhandled Exception: System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaValidationException: XmlSchema
error: The instance type was not found: HotelAddress XML  Line 5, Position 6.

After several hours of trial and error and some debugging I found a workaround.
More about the workaround later in this message.

I'm not sure but the problematic lines of code can be found in the method
XmlQualifiedName.Parse, which is called from the XmlSchemaValidator method
GetXsiType. First I thought it's the lookup of the type done in the method
FindType, cause in my demo program the GlobalTypes table had no entry. But this
was fixed after compiling the the Schemas with:
settings.Schemas.Compile()
and in fact it is not necessary to compile the schemas.

A closer look at the XmlQualifiedName.Parse method made me curious. There is a
namespace lookup for prefixed types, but if there is no prefix, as in my demo
project, the index is < 0 and the qualified name with an empty namespaces is
returned (line: return new XMlQualifiedName (name)).

In my opinion a qualified name always needs a namespace (otherwise it's not a
qualified one) and so I suggest to have the following line:
return new XmlQualifiedName (name, resolver.LookupNamespace("")); 


-- Workaround --
Cause there is a lookup for the namespace by the prefix in XmlQualfiedName, you
just have to prefix the elements and xsi-types in the XML file. i.e.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<tns:Person xmlns:tns="http://tempuri.org/Person.xsd" Firstname="Daniel"
Lastname="Stutz">

  <tns:Addresses/>
</tns:Person>

To write such an XML file you need to specifiy the namespace for the
serializer. i.e.
serializer.Serialize(Console.Out, person, new XmlSerializerNamespaces(new
XmlQualifiedName[] { new XmlQualifiedName("tns",
"http://tempuri.org/Person.xsd"), new XmlQualifiedName("xsi",
"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance") }));

-- XmlSchemaValidator.cs --
private XmlSchemaType FindType (XmlQualifiedName qname)
{
    return (XmlSchemaType) schemas.GlobalTypes [qname];
}


private object GetXsiType (string name)
{
    object xsiType = null;
    XmlQualifiedName typeQName =
        XmlQualifiedName.Parse (name, nsResolver);
    if (typeQName == ComplexType.AnyTypeName)
        xsiType = ComplexType.AnyType;
    else if (XmlSchemaUtil.IsBuiltInDatatypeName (typeQName))
        xsiType = XsDatatype.FromName (typeQName);
    else
        xsiType = FindType (typeQName);
    return xsiType;
}

-- XmlQualifiedName.cs --
internal static XmlQualifiedName Parse (string name, IXmlNamespaceResolver
resolver)
{
    int index = name.IndexOf (':');
    if (index < 0)
        return new XmlQualifiedName (name);
    string ns = resolver.LookupNamespace (name.Substring (0, index));
    if (ns == null)
        throw new ArgumentException ("Invalid qualified name.");
    return new XmlQualifiedName (name.Substring (index + 1), ns);
}
