XML/XSL Transformation...it can't be this hard!!!

[jfrost10]

Ugh...all i want to do is take some XML and do a transformation with an XSL file...where the output will be displayed in an XSL-FO viewer control.

But GEEZ...most everything online is based on the old stuff which is now obsolete in 1.1

And the documentation isn't all that hot...can someone fill me in on how to do this? I'm going to have nightmares of XNavigators, XRevolvers...Arrrgh, attack of the X's!

Thanks,

D'Arcy

Thanks Dimandja, but I'm looking more for a coding example than I am a regular transformation example (I've reviewed that tutorial previously though...its good for the basics)

So, the tutorial is no good, and you want someone to deliver the code... like that.

Is there any specific question/problem you have with XML? Besides doing your own homework that is.

I think there's some misunderstanding here, so let me clarify:

W3Schools is great for learing about a technology. It has wonderful tutorials on XML, XSL, etc. In fact, as I mentioned above, I've used W3Schools before for info.

However, I don't need to know the basics of XML/XSL. I need to get the xml out of an XSLT transformation in VB.NET, so I can then output the transformed text to a .fo file in the file strucure.

The problem is that the framework class functions for performing transformations have changed from 1.0 to 1.1 of the framework, making most of them obsolete. I have not been able to find any examples or tutorials online that cover the NEW 1.1 functions. Hence my posting here.

You should be careful not to judge people who post here too quickly. Many ask for code samples, and its not because they havn't done their homework or they're lazy. Most have already tried to figure it out and are looking to the community for assistance. I expect more from someone who's been here since 2002, such as yourself (and note I've been around here longer).

have you tried using a Web Browser control for the transformation?

There are other ways, but this might be the simplest...

Then just save the output text to a file...
