How to validate an XPS document?

Is there any C# API to validate a generated XPS document? (i.e. to make sure the file is a v开发者_如何学Calid xps file)

Don't know about an API, but there is a Microsoft tool that tests a file's conformity to the XML Paper Specification:

Xps just an XML format.

You could try:

1. Rename the XPS file to *.zip, and unzip it. You will see all the xml. There are quite a few files and directories.

2. Download the XML Paper Specification for xps from http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/print/xps/xpsspec.mspx.

3. So now you have the spec for xps, the schemas (there are five), and a whole bunch of xml documents to validate.

There are of course plenty of easy ways to validate xml in C# once you figure out which schema corresponds to which xml file.

Good luck with that.
