Question

Is it possible to validate an XML file using an XSD loaded at runtime from embedded application resources instead of using a physical file, with .NET (Framework 3.5)?

Thanks in advance

You can use XmlSchemaCollection.Add(string, XmlReader):

string file = "Assembly.Namespace.FileName.ext";
XmlSchemaCollection xsc = new XmlSchemaCollection();
xsc.Add(null, new XmlTextReader(
    this.GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(file)));
