System.Xml.Xsl.XslTransform.Transform Method

Transforms the XML data in the System.Xml.XPath.XPathNavigator using the specified args and outputs the result to an System.Xml.XmlWriter.

Syntax

public void Transform (System.Xml.XPath.XPathNavigator input, XsltArgumentList args, System.Xml.XmlWriter output, System.Xml.XmlResolver resolver)

Parameters

input
An System.Xml.XPath.XPathNavigator containing the data to be transformed.
args
An System.Xml.Xsl.XsltArgumentList containing the namespace-qualified arguments used as input to the transformation.
output
The System.Xml.XmlWriter to which you want to output.
resolver
The System.Xml.XmlResolver used to resolve the XSLT document() function. If this is null, the document() function is not resolved.

Remarks

Note:

The System.Xml.Xsl.XslTransform class is obsolete in the .NET Framework version 2.0. The System.Xml.Xsl.XslCompiledTransform class is the new XSLT processor. For more information, see Using the XslCompiledTransform Class and Migrating From the XslTransform Class.

System.Xml.Xsl.XslTransform supports the XSLT 1.0 syntax. The XSLT style sheet must include the namespace declaration xmlns:xsl= http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform.

The args are matched with the xsl:param elements defined in the style sheet. The transformation selections apply to the document as a whole. In other words, if the current node is set on a node tree other than the document root node, this does not prevent the transformation process from accessing all nodes in the loaded document. After the transformation is performed, the System.Xml.XPath.XPathNavigator remains in its original state. This means that the node, that is current before the transformation process, remains the current node after the XslTransform.Transform(System.Xml.XPath.XPathNavigator, XsltArgumentList, System.Xml.XmlWriter, System.Xml.XmlResolver) method has been called.

The xsl:output element is not supported when outputting to an System.Xml.XmlWriter (xsl:output is ignored). See Outputs from an XslTransform for more information.
