  <a>
    <b>Child node</b>
  </a>
  <a>
    <b>Child node</b>
    Mixed content
  </a>

and this xsd file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<iso:schema xmlns:iso="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron">
  <iso:pattern id="children tests">
    <iso:rule context="a">
      <iso:assert test="empty(child::node())">
        Element has nodes
      </iso:assert>
      <iso:assert test="empty(child::*)">
        Element has child elements
      </iso:assert>
      <iso:assert test="empty(child::text())">
        Element has text
      </iso:assert>
      <iso:report test="child::text() and empty(child::*)">
        Element has only text
      </iso:report>
    </iso:rule>
  </iso:pattern>
</iso:schema>

and this code

  Validator validator = new Validator();
                //validator.XmlSchemas.Add("", @"C:\project\Schematron\ConsoleApplication2\shematron\pdfdogschematron.sch");
                validator.AddSchema(@"C:\project\Schematron\ConsoleApplication2\shematron\book.xsd");
                IXPathNavigable a = validator.Validate(new XmlTextReader(@"C:\project\Schematron\ConsoleApplication2\shematron\dog.xml"));

I am using NMatrix.Schematron validator but it's not correctly.The method don't exception always.

Btw, the question where this samples are coming from has been updated: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14651586/identify-xml-text-elements-with-schematron Maybe you get the Schematron exceptions with the updated rules from there... — Clemens, Aug 18 '13 at 21:54

The first problem I can suggest is that you're using NMatrix.Schematron, which is a native .NET Schematron 1.5 validator. It does not support ISO schematron. I suggest you use the XRouter SchemaTron (available here)
