XslTransform in msword application with images

Guillaume Durand

Hi,

I transform XML data in an OutputStream which is open as a word document.
All works fine excepted the images defined in the xsl file which are html
links (src="images/image1.jpg").
So, when I save the word document in a particular place, the image can't be
displayed cause the path is no good anymore.
I would like to merge the images in the word document without any external
html links.
Any idea?

aspx file :
XslTransform xslt = new XslTransform();
xslt.Load(cvXSL Chemin);
xslt.Transform( xPathXMLData,nu ll,Response.Out putStream,null) ;
Response.Conten tType = "Applicatio n/msword";
Response.Flush( );
Response.Close( );
......

XSL file :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:styleshe et xmlns:xsl='http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'
version='1.0'>
<xsl:output method="html" media-type="applicati on/msword"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html><body>
<img width="126" height="91" src="images/image1.jpg"/></TD>
<xsl:value-of select="//Qualification"/>
.....
Regards.

Hi Guillaume

Well the output of your XSL transformation will have to be well-formed XML
(or HTML or Text...) - so the only way that you could embed image data into
your document would be via base 64 or bin hex encoding...and then the
receiving application would need to support reading the image data from the
encoded data. AFAIK, Word won't do that. What about going for an absolute URL
in your output? Will that not work for you?

Hi Nigel
Thanks for yous fast reply !

What about going for an absolute URL in your output?

it's a tip which will works in most case but not all, nevertheless it will
certainly be my solution.

For the base 64 encoded data, i'm just trying this way, but i'm not sure to
succeed in :

XSL File :
<img width="126" height="91"
src="http://portail.cso-info.fr/_layouts/viveris.jpg">
<xsl:attribut e name="src">data :image/jpg,base64;<xsl :value-of
select="//Logo"/></xsl:attribute>
</img>

aspx file :
{
byte[] imageB = GetImage(Server .MapPath("../images/myImage.jpg"));
string stringDecode = Convert.ToBase6 4String(imageB, 0,2642);
....

writer.WriteEle mentString("Log o",stringDecode ); //Ajout de l'image encodee
....
}
............... .............
public byte[] GetImage(string monImage)
{
return getBinaryFile(m onImage);
}
public byte[] getBinaryFile(s tring filename)
{
FileStream s=File.OpenRead (filename);
return ConvertStreamTo ByteBuffer(s);
}

public byte[] ConvertStreamTo ByteBuffer(Syst em.IO.Stream theStream)
{
int b1;
System.IO.Memor yStream tempStream = new System.IO.Memor yStream();
while((b1=theSt ream.ReadByte() )!=-1)
{
tempStream.Writ eByte(((byte)b1 ));
}
return tempStream.ToAr ray();
}
