XSLT - how to use it

[Dan Aldean]

Hello,

I would like to convert an XML document to HTML.

1. Can I build with the design tools the xslt document, or I have to write
code?
2. Does anybody have a small sample of C# of how to do the transformation?
Also the xml and xsl attached?

Thanks

There are generic stylesheets that for instance render the XML tree as
an HTML document with script but usually you have to write a custom XSLT
stylesheet for your XML documents.

2. Does anybody have a small sample of C# of how to do the transformation?

..NET 1.x:

..NET 2.0:

1. I don't know if you can with the design tools

2. This code snippet is all required. Unfortunately, I cannot post the
xml/xslt pair

_document is an XMLDocument

XslTransform transform1 = new XslTransform();
transform1.Load(this.XsltPath);
TextWriter writer1 = new StreamWriter(strOutputPath, false,
Encoding.UTF8);
transform1.Transform(this._document.CreateNavigator(), null, writer1);
writer1.Flush();
writer1.Close();

In Visual Studio 2005, yes, you can. The XSL Editor is excellent!

Thank you all.

I previously tried a few of the samples I found on the web, but all had
problems and did not even compile. Nor that I knew how to fix them.
