Using ASP.NET to transform the XML and pass variables to XSLT

[darrel]

I think I've gotten the hang of XML and XSLT...at least enough to produce
the results I'm looking for.

I now need to take the next step and use ASP.NET (using VB.NET) to take the
xml and send it to the xslt along with a parameter and get xhtml returned.

The catch is that I'm not finding any samples of how to do that. I can find
(as usual) some C# examples, and a few VB.NET for client apps samples, but
nothing for ASP.NET using VB.NET.

What I am finding appears to be using ASPX to transform the file rather than
passing it off to a XSLT file (is, using the XML more as a database query).

Can anyone point me in the right direction towards an ASP.NET/VB.net
solution for this? I think this is the process I need:

- grab xml
- assign variable/parameter
- have xstl transform the xml using the parameter
- return (x)html to pass back to the browser in the usercontrol

This URL has a VB example. Should get you most of the way.

The example writes to the transform results to file. You can replace the
writer in the example with the Response object instead.

THANK YOU! Reading it now!

Naraen (or anyone else):

Can you elaborate on the Response object? I can't find any documentation on
how to use that to return the HTML I want.

If I just do this:

xslt.Transform(doc, xslArg, response, Nothing)

I get:

Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'Transform' can be called
with these arguments

I'm guessing the RESPONSE method isn't a part of xmltextwriter?

Oops. Think I got it:

xslt.Transform(doc, xslArg, Response.Output, Nothing)

Thanks, Naraen!
