Is it necessary to have a ref to the DTD within the XML

hi,

I want to validate an XML based on a DTD.

Is it necessary to have a reference to the DTD
within the XML.

I dont want it that way. How can i specify the
DTD file dynamically while calling the parse
method.

Thanks in advance

if u want to validate XML u suppose to give the ref to DTD in XML it self.

MSXML vr -2 xml parser dose not suport dynamic validation of XML document.

The parser is only to work on XML content not for validte XML over DTD.
