Adding XSL stylesheet decaration to XML page 1

[mcowen]

Hi,

I cant seem to find a way in the XMLDocument object or anything else to add the xsl-stylesheet tag to an XML document. .NET seems to want to transform the XML itself using XMLtransform but I dont want this. I want to be able to create XML documents in a directory and allow the users to open the XML in their browsers (its internal so I know they are using browsers that can view XML) whereby the browsers transform the XSL and XML.

Does anyone know if this is possible?
TIA

Matt

I think you may be able to use an XmlTextWriter object, and the WriteProcessingInstruction method. This website has an excellent example (in c#)

Thats great thanks. Just in case that page gets moved...

// Add processor information to the XML file
    String strPI = "type='text/xsl' href='Transform.xsl'";
    // Write processor information
    xmlWriter.WriteProcessingInstruction("xml-stylesheet", strPI);
