XML (with schema) Programming

Question

Hi I am new to c# language. Can someone please advice how can I go about writing XML data which has to confirm/validate with with a particular schema. So kind of schema aware programming. Here is more info: I have the data and a schema. I need to write a xml document that will eventually validate with this schema. Any code snippet or urls would be helpful. Your inputs will be much appriciated. Thanks

Thanks guys but I guess I probably did not explain my requirement properly. Its not about reading a xml file and then validating against a schema. It is about writing a brand new xml file (with the data I will fetch from somewhere. say database) and that xml file has to confirm to a xsd schema i.e. xml file structure will come from the schema specified. Let me know if you are still not clear. I am sure there must be a way to achieve this as I dont want to write each and every element/attribute. I have been looking at linq to xsd but it seems that microsoft has not released it as a product. Correct me if I am wrong. Now I am looking at xsd.exe utility which probably can convert xsd into C# classes and I can use those classes in some way to achieve what I want. Please suggest if I am in the correct direction and it will even nice if you could help me with some code snippets or urls. I am just 2 days old in c# and it will be much appriciated.
