XslCompiledTransform not outputting to XmlDocument

[p-cresswell]

Hi guys/gals,

Can you help with this? I am trying to use an XSL tranform with the new
XslCompiledTranform class. I want it to output to a XmlDocument, but
the document is empty after .Transform(...) but i Know thethe xsl and
source xml are fine becasue if I output the Transform to a file it
works fine. Here's what i'm doing:

// Output doc
XmlDocument xmlReg = new XmlDocument();

//Sort with Xslt
XslCompiledTransform xsl = new XslCompiledTransform();
xsl.Load("DocSortByDate.xsl");
xsl.Transform("DocList.xml",
null,xmlReg.CreateNavigator().AppendChild());
Any suggestions??

Many thanks,

Peter

You could Transform to a MemoryStream and reset its position to 0 after
the transformation and then load then stream into an XmlDocument instance.

Or check the MVP XML project and the XslReader which allows you to
consume the result of an XSLT transformation as an XmlReader and load
that into the XmlDocument instance:

The problem with this code is that XmlWriter created by
xmlReg.CreateNavigator().AppendChild() won't get closed. Use different
pattern:

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
using (XmlWriter writer = doc.CreateNavigator().AppendChild()) {
xslt.Transform(input, (XsltArgumentList)null, writer);
}
