Validate XML against XSD File In C# And VB.NET

In my nature of work, we dealt with XML files and schema on a daily basis. And here's a cool snippet on validating XML file against and XSD file.
C#
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Schema;
using System.Xml.XPath;

public class Form1
{

 private void Form1_Load(SystemObject sender, SystemEventArgs e)
 {
  XmlDocument myDocument = new XmlDocument();
  myDocument.Load("C:\\somefile.xml");
  myDocument.Schemas.Add("namespace here or empty string", "C:\\someschema.xsd");
  ValidationEventHandler eventHandler = new ValidationEventHandler(ValidationEventHandler);
  myDocument.Validate(eventHandler);
 }

 private void ValidationEventHandler(object sender, ValidationEventArgs e)
 {
  switch (e.Severity) {
   case XmlSeverityType.Error:
    Debug.WriteLine("Error: {0}", e.Message);
    break;
   case XmlSeverityType.Warning:
    Debug.WriteLine("Warning {0}", e.Message);
    break;
  }
 }
}

        myDocument.Schemas.Add("namespace here or empty string", "C:\someschema.xsd")
        Dim eventHandler As ValidationEventHandler = New ValidationEventHandler(AddressOf ValidationEventHandler)
        myDocument.Validate(eventHandler)
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub ValidationEventHandler(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ValidationEventArgs)
        Select Case e.Severity
            Case XmlSeverityType.Error
                Debug.WriteLine("Error: {0}", e.Message)
            Case XmlSeverityType.Warning
                Debug.WriteLine("Warning {0}", e.Message)
        End Select
    End Sub
 
End Class
