Is there a way to print out user friendly XSD validation error messages?

For example, if a mandatory field is missing then the message should be specific that the mandatory field is indeed missing.

Take the following XML as example where <name> is mandatory but is missing. Fields <birthday> and <contactno> are defined above the <age> field, and are not in the XML as well.

<person>
<age>22
<height>188
<weight>165

I've looked at the ValidationEventArgs event exception details and the information available are the line number which the validation issue was detected and the list of possible elements expected

C++

List of possible elements expected: 'Name, Birthday, ContactNo' in

Is there a way to make is specify that the "Name" field is mandatory and is missing in the XML document?

Thanks in advance

Only by parsing the string and creating your own message from it, I expect.

However, the string does not specify which of the three fields are mandatory. I'm trying to avoid manual work as much as possible. Is there a more automated way of achieving friendly xml validation messages?
