I think xml schema validation occurs during serialization.

I wanted to validate my xml document while in the process of serializing the class into the xml document.

Though the classes were created from the schema, there are some conditions that made the serialized xml document not conform to the xsd structure and data-type requirement.

I did not want to finish serializing the class into an xml document and then attempt to re-read it into memory just for the purpose of validating the document against the schema.

but I found out that you can only validate an xml document by reading the outputed xml document back into memory and there and then only can you validate the document against its schema to discover errors in the document if any.

Unless there is a smarter way of validating the xml string during the process of serializing the class into the xml file, i will close this question and award the points to redpipe who pointed me to the only method i know for validating an xml document against its schema.
