Validate BizTalk Schema in Visual Studio - "Custom component invocation failed" - xsd

Well, that error message doesn't help at all. I have a flat file schema that I cannot get working.
The XML is valid, but BizTalk can't work with it. Is there a way to enable verbose error logging when calling Validate Schema? Is there a better tool for validating/testing BizTalk schemas than Visual Studio?
I'm new to BizTalk and I'm stumped.

It sounds like something is wrong in your call to validate the schema. By any chance, did you forget to set the Input Instance Filename property?

There were two problems: Schemas built using the flat file wizard inexplicably default to Xml source. So it didn't know it wasn't dealing with .txt. Plus I had it set to expect 0 records.

Hi I had faced the same problem.
I had build a tool to convert TDS1 format schema to flat file schema. The xml schema was correct but it was not getting validated. Then i compared with my existing flat file schema and i found that child delimiter type was wrong. My tool was creating flat file schema with delimiter type set to hex for all the record info.
But ; is a character and not hex.
original record info attribute: child_delimiter_type="hex"
Changed record info attribute: child_delimiter_type="char"
So please check your delimiter type and other record info attributes as well.
Hope this will help....

Are there any XSD files to validate XML for the https://www.w3.org/TR/widgets/ namespace?

In the intelliJ suite, xsd validation is performed automatically and you get an error if a given schema is not found. I tried to find an xsd file for the w3c widgets namespace but i couldn't.
If there is no such thing, what is the best practice here? Just add a rule to each file to ignore the error? (that is not a good one imo)
Generate a schema automatically from the file? (but if i add something i need to regenerate it?)

What causes the "Schema Conflict when Loading a File" in Revit?

When I open a Revit file, I get an error titled "Schema Conflict when Loading a File". The schema conflict is with my own schema. What could be different between the two schemas that could cause this error?
The full text of the error is:
Schema Conflict when Loading a File
The file being loaded is causing a conflict with existing data in the
model. What do you want to do?
The file contains data of schema "XYZ" (from "ABC"), which has the
same ID as a different schema already in memory. If the file is
loaded, the existing data will be erased from the model.
For End Users
If you are getting this error and did not develop a Revit add-in, forward this page to the developer. It will help them figure out what is going wrong.
For Developers
This error happens if the schema in the two projects are not exactly the same. If you are getting this error, something is different, and you need to dig deeper to figure out what it is.
In my case, the difference was the Application GUID I was using. For unrelated reasons, I changed this value in my project, not realizing it was going to cause problems for my schema.
Get the schema using Schema.Lookup and use the debugger to examine all the settings in it. Keep looking because you will eventually find something different.
Try using the The ExtensibleStorageUtility sample from the Revit SDK. It is helpful as written for getting a handle on what's going on with your schema. It is also a good platform to build from to dig deeper into their structure.

Visual Studio 2008 Read values from XSD file

First post. I am trying to read the values of any XSD in Visual Basic. I want the application to read back values like complextypes, elements etc. I have been looking at MSXML2 but most examples include validation against a XML file. I only want to read XSD and get information. Will xml reader be able to read a XSD file? Any help be great.
It depends a lot on what you're trying to do with this information, therefore the prerequisites you need to have in place before doing it.
For all but really trivial tasks, I recommend the use of classes in System.Xml.Schema namespace, particularly start with XmlSchema and XmlSchemaSet. This would allow you to manipulate XSDs any way you want; it would also allow you to validate the schemas before using them, if it would prove to be a requirement.
For completeness, and for what I would call very simple tasks, you may also think that XSD is just XML, so then any XML processor should allow you to load an XSD and interogate it as needed.
All of the above, since you've mentioned VS2008, would be on Visual Basic.NET. If you're still on Visual Basic and need to rely on MSXML, then I would refer you to this article on using Visual Basic and SOM.

XSD TO XML Conversion

I want to write a java program, Input - XSD File I need to retreive all the element name from the xsd and need to create an xml file as an output with the retreived element name. If anyone of you have the sample code, please share it.
Thanks
You are not rephrasing your question,but still i found some suggestions for you.See if its useful for you.Please check the following link...
http://www.narendranaidu.com/2010/04/xsd-to-xml-and-vice-versa.html
Alright use JAXME or XSOM to parse your schema and use DOM or JDOM to write the element names to new xml
if you want to create a sample XML from schema ..you can use XMLspear tool to do that.

XSD problem - trying to generate xsd from xml

I am trying to generate a schema from this xml file:
http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?rettype=xml&retmode=xml&db=nucleotide&id=AB573763
I store it as s.xml and then tried:
xsd s.xml
It just does not finish it - seems to be stuck in an endless loop or something. What other options do I have to generate the xsd or can you see something wrong?
Thanks.

A schema generated from a single instance document is never going to be as high quality as one created from a schema as you can be almost certain that the generated schema will have distinct limitations.
I would suggest that you download the schema from the NIH (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/dtd/NCBI_Seqset.dtd as #Tuomas Hietanen showed) and use a tool such as James Clark's Trang to generate a schema. Your resulting schema is likely to be of higher quality. If you have a copy of Oxygen you can simply use that as Trang is built-in.
