Hi rakesh_42,

Based on your requirement, I think it could not validate attributes' datatype in xml directly. You could validate the parts of XML document. I created the sample method, code shown below:

private void ValidateSubnode(XmlNode node, XmlSchema schema)
{
    XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(node.OuterXml, XmlNodeType.Element, null);

    XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings();
    settings.ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Fragment;
    settings.Schemas.Add(schema);
    settings.ValidationType = ValidationType.Schema;
    settings.ValidationEventHandler += new ValidationEventHandler(XSDValidationEventHandler);

    using (XmlReader validationReader = XmlReader.Create(reader, settings))
    {     
        while (validationReader.Read())
        {
        }
    }
}

private void XSDValidationEventHandler(object sender, ValidationEventArgs args)
{
    errors.AppendFormat("XSD - Severity {0} - {1}", 
                        args.Severity.ToString(), args.Message);
}

For more information, please refer to the document about XmlSchemaValidator Class.

I hope this will help you.
