Hi Jen,

Actually our Language Designer sample does this sort of thing. It's not built directly into SyntaxEditor yet (maybe for 4.0) but you essentially create an XmlValidatingReader and then when errors show up, you interpret the message and can assign wavy line span indicators to show the error.

Yes in our sample project, look at LanguageDesignerForm. It does this and creates span indicators after validating against our XSD.

To test it, open the Language Designer from the launcher window. The open any sample language definition in the top box. Then add a valid random XML tag at the top but not a tag that is valid per the XSD.

Here's a sample where I add a Test tag:


<SyntaxLanguage Key="C#" LanguageDefinitionVersion="3.0" Secure="True" WordContainsAdditionalCharacters="@_" xmlns="http://ActiproSoftware/SyntaxEditor/3.0/LanguageDefinition">
    <Test />
    <!-- String Properties -->

When you hit the validate button, you'll see a span indicator wavy-underline the error.
