Obsolete class XmlSchemaCollection

[mustang]

I have created a custom receive pipeline component and I need to validate the
incoming message contents against the schema. Currently I use the pipeline
context property to obtain the schema. My code looks something like this:


private static System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaSet
GetSchemaSet(Microsoft.BizTalk.Component.Interop.IPipelineContext
pContext)
{
System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaSet schemaSet;
Microsoft.BizTalk.Component.Interop.IDocumentSpec docSpec;
System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaCollection schemaCollection;

try {
docSpec = pContext.GetDocumentSpecByType(DOC_SPEC_TYPE);
schemaCollection = docSpec.GetSchemaCollection();

if (schemaCollection.Count > 0) {
schemaSet = new System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaSet();
foreach (System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchema schema in schemaCollection) {
schemaSet.Add(schema);
}
}
}
catch { /* If any errors occur, just return a null SchemaSet */ }

return schemaSet;
}

According to Microsoft's documentation, XmlSchemaCollection is an obsolete
class, yet this is the return type for IDocumentSpec.GetSchemaCollection. Am
I handling this the wrong way, or is there another way I could be loading the
schemas into a XmlSchemaSet collection?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I've replied in your another thread. Using the GetSchemaCollection() call
is still a common approach to retrieve the schema. Another way is write
document spec info into the incoming message's context directly as the
Schema Resolver Component sample in SDK:

Schema Resolver Component (BizTalk Server Sample)

Please let me know if you still have any concern on this issue.

Thanks.

Sincerely,
