Inserting Processing Instruction

[ledder77]

Hi,
I need to find a way to insert a processing instruction to an xml
document after all the other nodes have been correctly added. That's
because I get an xml from a method that I can't modify and I need to
add a processing instruction in order to render the xml using a custom
xsl stylesheet.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance
Francesco

If you have a DOM XmlDocument then you can do it alike the following (C#
pseudo code)
XmlProcessingInstruction pi =
xmlDocument.CreateProcessingInstruction("xml-stylesheet",
"type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"whatever.xsl\"");
xmlDocument.InsertBefore(pi, xmlDocument.DocumentElement);
