'' is an invalid QName

[Glenn]

Help

I'm trying to perform a transform and I keep on getting '' is invalid QName.
The weird thing is, I can take the same code, stylesheet and XML, put into a
Console app and it works okay. I've tested the stylesheet in Stylus Studio
and tried using nxslt and both work fine.

Any ideas?

Then it probably has something to do with the way you run the
transformation. Show us your code.

Here it is

private void TransformResponse( string transformPath, XmlDocument document,
string outputPath )
{
if ( !File.Exists( transformPath ) )
{
throw new FileNotFoundException( "XSLT file could not be found",
transformPath );
}

XslTransform transform = new XslTransform();
XmlReader transformReader = new XmlTextReader( transformPath );
transform.Load( transformReader, null, null );
using ( FileStream stream = File.Open( outputPath, FileMode.Create,
FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Write ) )
{
transform.Transform( document, null, stream, null );
}
}

Cheers

Looks ok, but beware those nulls disable resolving any external
resources, be it xsl:import/xsl:include or document() function call.
Anyway, show us some minimal XSLT stylesheet to reproduce the problem.

It was nothing more than my forgetfulness. Forgot to change the app.config
to point to the correct stylesheet.

Thanks for the help though

Glenn (embarrassed)
