What versions of XSL are supported by what versions of ASP.net?

[darrel]

At the moment, I'm doing some XSLT (1.0) work in ASP.net (1.1).

There's some features I'd like to use that apparently are found in XSLT 2.0.
Does ASP.net 1.1 support XSLT 2? What about ASP.net 2.0?

EXSLT was also mentioned. Does ASP.net support that?

The XSLT processor in the .NET framework class libaries in .NET 1.1 is
System.Xml.Xsl.XslTransform and supports XSLT 1.0. With .NET 2.0/3.0 the
processor is System.Xml.Xsl.XslCompiledTransform which also supports
XSLT 1.0 only.
If you want to use XSLT 2.0 (which only became a W3C recommendation the
beginning of 2007) then check Saxon on <http://www.saxonica.com/>, it
has a .NET version.

EXSLT.NET exists, check <http://www.codeplex.com/MVPXML>.
