ms:format-date() ?

Question posted by: Keith Chadwick (Guest) on November 12th, 2005 02:09 AM

Been trying to use the ms:format-date() in one of my transformations.

I have all of the necessary declarations in my xml as in

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<data xml:space="default"
xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes">
myxml...
</data>

And my transformation:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:ms="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes">

<xsl:template match="/" >
<xsl:value-of select="ms:format-date(@testdatefromdatabase,'MMM dd,
yyyy')"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I keep getting the message that it does not recognize the ms namespace even
though it is declared.

I have the MSXML4.0 SDK installed. Could it be because I am calling the xml
transformation through the .NET XSLTransform object which does not recognize
this namespace?

Your input?

Cheers
