Preserve caracter entityes

[Vidar]

Hi
I have a problem preserving caracter entities using XslTransform
object
in VB.net.

If I use saxon or even dot.net in Stylus studio for convertion, there
is no problem.

The problem is that when I convert using XSLT (I use
encoding="iso-8859-1")
the caracter entities that are higher than 255 is convetted to a
caracter and it become the wrong caracter since the encoding is a 8
bit type. (iso-8859-1)

Here is an exampel of the problem:
The entity: č converts to a caracter "c" and not [c caron]

I want to preserve č and not convert it.

I write this code for converting in dot.net:

Dim SorceXMLFilenam e as String
Dim ResultXMLfilena me as String
Dim XSLTfilename as String
Dim convXML As New XslTransform
Dim res As XmlResolver
convXML.Load(XS LTfilename )
convXML.Transfo rm(SorceFilenam e , ResultXMLfilena me , res)

Is ther somthing i have to do here, so my entityes wil be preserved,
and not converted.

Greatful for any hints here.

..NET doesn't support that. What's wrong with UTF-8?
Take a look at for http://www.tkachenko.com/blog/archives/000266.html a
workaround.

Thanks a lot for your answer.
The content of your link was helpful.

Its nothing wrong with UTF-8, its the rest of the world that have a problem. :-)
The problem is that my aplication shal deliver XML to an other aplication who do
not suport XML by 100% It must have the caracter entityes for caracters
beyond 255.
