XSLT & Webservice

[JohnSmith]

Hi,

I'm consuming a webservice which returns an XMLNode with VB.NET and XSLT and
sending the output to Response.Output Stream
If I feed the returned XMLNode directly in the transform method, I get an
error:

System.InvalidO perationExcepti on: The specified node cannot be inserted as
the valid child of this node, because the specified node is the wrong type.

If I first serialize the node to a string and then load a new document with
that string it works fine. Can anybody explain me why that is?

Thanx,

Corno
