XML XSLT Transform issue please help

[BrianDH]

Hi
I am having a problem doing the tranform.
Unlike all the examples I have found, I do not load my XML document via a
path but from a datacall.

I get erros when I try to do the transform (white space cannot be striped)

XmlDocument DealXmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
DealXmlDocument.LoadXml(DataCalls);

XPathNavigator nav = DealXmlDocument.CreateNavigator();
XslCompiledTransform XSLTDocument = new XslCompiledTransform();
XSLTDocument.Load(xsl);

// Transform the file.
System.IO.StringWriter writer = new System.IO.StringWriter();
XSLTDocument.Transform(nav, null, writer); // here is where i get the error
Thanks for any help.

What type is DataCalls? What does it contain? Is that a string with the
input XML markup?
Does that error occur with any input XML markup or just one particular?
Can you post how the XML looks?

XPathNavigator nav = DealXmlDocument.CreateNavigator();
XslCompiledTransform XSLTDocument = new XslCompiledTransform();
XSLTDocument.Load(xsl);

// Transform the file.
System.IO.StringWriter writer = new System.IO.StringWriter();
XSLTDocument.Transform(nav, null, writer); // here is where i get the error

Can you try whether the error goes away with
XSLTDocument.Transform(XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(DataCalls)),
null, writer)
There is usually no need to use an XmlDocument if you simply want to do
a transformation.
