Getting unescaped XML from a transform

[the_dog_gabby]

Hello,

I have a stylesheet that contains C# functions to generate XML. When I
apply the stylesheet to my document, everything works perfectly except
the data I get back is escaped like so:

<test>thi s is a test</test>

I need to get <test>this is a test</testrather than the escaped data.
Any input would be appreciated.

Stylesheet

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:styleshe et version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:msxsl="ur n:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:user="htt p://mycompany.com/mynamespace">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<msxsl:script language="C#" implements-prefix="user">

<![CDATA[
string createStatement (XPathNodeItera tor root){
return "<test>this is a test</test>";

}

]]>
</msxsl:script>
<xsl:template match="/" >

<xsl:value-of select="user:cr eateStatement(. )"
disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Code that does the transform:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
string stylesheet = args[0];
string filename = args[1];

//Create the XslTransform and load the stylesheet.
XslTransform xslt = new XslTransform();
xslt.Load(style sheet);

//Load the XML data file.
XPathDocument doc = new XPathDocument(f ilename);

//Create an XmlTextWriter to output to the console.
XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(C onsole.Out);
writer.Formatti ng = Formatting.Inde nted;
//Transform the file.

xslt.Transform( doc, null, writer, null);
writer.Close();

}

Well you pass back a string and not any data types the XSLT engine
recognizes as nodes to be processed (like XPathNavigator,
XPathNodeIterat or).

<xsl:value-of select="user:cr eateStatement(. )"
disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

//Create an XmlTextWriter to output to the console.
XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(C onsole.Out);
writer.Formatti ng = Formatting.Inde nted;
//Transform the file.

xslt.Transform( doc, null, writer, null);

disable-output-escaping is not supported when transforming to an
Xml(Text)Writer .
