Dont want to write xsl transformation(html) to a file

[Edwin Loubser]

Hi,

My problem is that I dont want to output the transformed xml to a file! I
convert a Dataset to xml and then apply the transformation using xsl.

Dim xmlDoc As XmlDataDocument = New XmlDataDocument(ds)
Dim xslTran As XslTransform = New XslTransform
Dim writer As XmlTextWriter = New XmlTextWriter("C:\Test.xml",
System.Text.Encoding.Default)

xslTran.Load("C:\Customer.xslt", New Xml.XmlUrlResolver)
xslTran.Transform(xmlDoc, Nothing, writer, Nothing)
writer.Close()

Now instead of writing to the file Test.xml I want to store the html in a
string variable. Is this possible? Can someone please help me?

Thanx
Edwin

Sure. Transform to StringWriter instead of XmlTextWriter.
