Transforming part of the XML

[fix]

Hi all,

I am trying to transform part of the XML in a file using XSLT. I select
my node by a XPathNavigator and pass it to an XslTranform to Transform
that. But unfortunately it transforms the whole XML document instead of
part of it. Is there any way that I can transform only the part selected
by XPathNavigator?

Thanks.
fix.

SubtreeXPathNavigator class of Mvp.Xml library can do it. See

Is there any way to do it without 3rd-party libraries?

Oh well, I didn't know it is such an easy way to do that, I just have to
wrap my XPathNavigator, it doesn't even cost me a line of code.

Thanks Oleg and all who have written this library!

Actually yes, there is another way. You can pass your node (not as
XPathNavigator though, but as XPathNodeIterator, which you can get via
nav.Select(".") call) as a parameter to XSLT and then in your stylesheet
start with processing passed node, not source document:

<xsl:stylesheet ...>
<xsl:param name="node"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="$node"/>
<xsl:template>
...
