I have some XML files that needs to be validated with a DTD but the xml files does not have the DOCTYPE tag that reference to the dtd file. Is there any way to tell XmlValidatingReader to specifically use that DTD file even when DOCTYPE is not in the xml file?

No, I don't think so, but it is possible to use XSLT or other tools to make a copy of the incoming XML where the DOCTYPE declaration is added and then you can do validation on the copy.
