getting TEXT of an xslt.transform

[darrel]

On my page right now, I call a function:

<%=getMenu()%>

in my codebehind, I have the function do an xslt transformation:

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

Instead of calling the function directly on the main page, I now want to
just place a literal on the page and set the literal's text via codebehind.
However, I can't seem to do this:

ltl_menu.Text = xslt.Transform(doc, xslArg, Response.Output, Nothing)

As the 'expression does not return a value'.

How can one get the result of the text as a string?

Hello!

ltl_menu.Text = xslt.Transform(doc, xslArg, Response.Output, Nothing)

As the 'expression does not return a value'.

Don't write it to Response.Output but use StringWriter: (untested)

StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
xslt.Transform( doc, xslArg, sw, null );
ltk_menu.Text = sw.ToString();
There is also an XSLT-WebControl...
