Here I already explained once how it can be done in .Net Framework, with Saxon-Se, and now here is experimental example in .Net Core.

Install NuGet package SaxonHE12s9apiExtensions.

In .csproj add something like:

<ItemGroup>
	<PackageReference Include="IKVM.Maven.Sdk" Version="1.8.2"/>
	<MavenReference Include="net.sf.saxon:Saxon-HE" version="12.5"/>
	<PackageReference Include="SaxonHE12s9apiExtensions" Version="12.5.9.4"/>
</ItemGroup>
Use this method to return result as a string which later you can convert to XML as I already explained here:
using net.sf.saxon.s9api;
using net.liberty_development.SaxonHE12s9apiExtensions;
...
string ValidateXmlFile(string xmlFile, string xslFile)
{
    Processor processor = new Processor();
    DocumentBuilder builder = processor.newDocumentBuilder();

    XsltTransformer xsltTransformer = processor.newXsltCompiler().Compile(new Uri(xslFile)).load();
    var inputNode = builder.Build(new Uri(xmlFile));
    xsltTransformer.setInitialContextNode(inputNode);
    using var stringWriter = new StringWriter();
    Serializer serializer = processor.NewSerializer(stringWriter);
    xsltTransformer.setDestination(serializer);
    xsltTransformer.transform();
    return stringWriter.ToString();
}

For this example I was using this answer on Stack Overflow, and example I also downloaded from here.

This example will also not work in .NET Core.

My example you can download from here.

First install Saxon-HE, it looks like that it Saxon Home Edition does not support .NET core, which is why test project has to be .NET Framework.

Example method:

private static string ValidateXmlFile(string inputFile, string transformFile)
{
	try
	{
		if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(inputFile))
		{
			throw new FileNotFoundException("Filename is empty");
		}

		inputFile = Path.GetFullPath(inputFile);
		if (!File.Exists(inputFile))
		{
			throw new FileNotFoundException($"File: {inputFile} not found");
		}

		transformFile = Path.GetFullPath(transformFile);
		if (!File.Exists(transformFile))
		{
			throw new FileNotFoundException($"File: {transformFile} not found");
		}

		Processor processor = new Processor();

		DocumentBuilder builder = processor.NewDocumentBuilder();
		builder.BaseUri = new Uri(inputFile);

		XdmNode inputNode;
		using (var inputStream = File.OpenRead(inputFile))
		{
			inputNode = builder.Build(inputStream);
		}

		XsltCompiler compiler = processor.NewXsltCompiler();
		XsltExecutable executable;
		using (var xsltStream = File.OpenRead(transformFile))
		{
			executable = compiler.Compile(xsltStream);
			if (compiler.GetErrorList().Count != 0)
				throw new Exception("Exception loading xsl!");
		}

		XsltTransformer transformer = executable.Load();

		transformer.InitialContextNode = inputNode;

		Serializer serializer = processor.NewSerializer();
		using (var stringWriter = new StringWriter())
		{
			serializer.SetOutputWriter(stringWriter);
			transformer.Run(serializer);
			string result = stringWriter.ToString();
			return result;
		}
	}
	catch (Exception e)
	{
	   return e.Message;
	}
}
Since validation result is XML, we can parse failed validations like:
IEnumerable<FailedAssert> failedAsserts = doc.Descendants(svrl + "failed-assert")
	.Select(fa => new FailedAssert
	{
		Flag = fa.Attribute("flag")?.Value,
		Id = fa.Attribute("id")?.Value,
		Test = fa.Attribute("test")?.Value,
		Location = fa.Attribute("location")?.Value,
		Text = fa.Element(svrl + "text")?.Value
	});
SVRL is an abbreviation for 'Schematron Validation Report Language.'

FailedAssert class looks like:

public class FailedAssert
{
	public string Flag { get; set; }
	public string Id { get; set; }
	public string Test { get; set; }
	public string Location { get; set; }
	public string ExceptionMessage { get; set; }
	public string Text { get; set; }
}
Example download from here. For this example I used file 01.03a-INVOICE_uncefact.xml which I downloaded from here where I manipulated with DateTimeField. Instead of a date I wrote "test", in order to trigger a failed assertion. I also downloaded XSL file EN16931-CII-validation.xsl from "Koordinierungsstelle für IT-Standards" (KoSIT) GitHub repository.

Master - Detail with DataGridView and DataTables example

Here, I gave one example of in-memory DataTables master - detail relationship.

Now I will extend that example with DataGridView.

First lets create master DataTable:

private DataTable CreateMasterDataTable()
{
	DataTable dtMaster = new DataTable("Master");
	dtMaster.Columns.Add("Id", typeof(int));
	dtMaster.Columns.Add("SomeText", typeof(string));
	dtMaster.PrimaryKey =
	[
		dtMaster.Columns["Id"]
	];

	return dtMaster;
}
Now detail DataTable:
private DataTable CreateDetailDataTable()
{
	DataTable dtDetail = new DataTable("Detail");
	dtDetail.Columns.Add("Id", typeof(int));
	dtDetail.Columns.Add("MasterId", typeof(int));
	dtDetail.Columns.Add("SomeText", typeof(string));
	dtDetail.PrimaryKey =
	[
		dtDetail.Columns["Id"]
		, dtDetail.Columns["MasterId"]
	];

	return dtDetail;
}
DataSet:
DataSet dsMasterDetail = new DataSet("MasterDetail");
dsMasterDetail.Tables.Add(CreateMasterDataTable());
dsMasterDetail.Tables.Add(CreateDetailDataTable());
Relation and add relation to DataSet:
DataRelation relMasterDetail = new DataRelation("MasterDetailRelation"
	, dsMasterDetail.Tables["Master"].Columns["Id"]
	, dsMasterDetail.Tables["Detail"].Columns["MasterId"]
);

dsMasterDetail.Relations.Add(relMasterDetail);
Now, lets create BindingSource and attach it to DataSource of DataGridView:
var dsMasterDetail = CreateMasterDetailDataSet();
BindingSource bsMaster = new BindingSource
{
	DataSource = dsMasterDetail,
	DataMember = "Master"
};
dgvMaster.DataSource = bsMaster;

BindingSource bsDetail = new BindingSource
{
	DataSource = bsMaster,
	DataMember = "MasterDetailRelation"
};
dgvDetail.DataSource = bsDetail;
Here notice that DataSource of detail BindingSource I have attached master BindingSource, as DataMember name of relation:
BindingSource bsDetail = new BindingSource
{
	DataSource = bsMaster,
	DataMember = "MasterDetailRelation"
};
