If the XSLT document() function is enabled, it is resolved using an System.Xml.XmlUrlResolver with no user credentials. If the external resource is located on a network resource that requires authentication, use the overload that takes an System.Xml.XmlResolver as one of its arguments and specify an System.Xml.XmlResolver with the necessary credentials.

This method does not support the xsl:strip-space element. If your compiled style sheet included the xsl:strip-space element, you must use the erload:System.Xml.Xsl.XslCompiledTransform.Transform overload which takes an System.Xml.XmlReader as the input argument.

The System.Xml.XPath.IXPathNavigable interface is implemented in the System.Xml.XmlNode and System.Xml.XPath.XPathDocument classes. These classes represent an in-memory cache of XML data.

• The System.Xml.XmlNode class is based on the W3C Document Object Model (DOM) and includes editing capabilities.

• The System.Xml.XPath.XPathDocument class is a read-only data store based on the XPath data model. System.Xml.XPath.XPathDocument is the recommended class for XSLT processing. It provides faster performance when compared to the System.Xml.XmlNode class.

Transformations apply to the document as a whole. In other words, if you pass in a node other than the document root node, this does not prevent the transformation process from accessing all nodes in the loaded document. To transform a node fragment, you must create an object containing just the node fragment, and pass that object to the XslCompiledTransform.Transform(System.Xml.XPath.IXPathNavigable, XsltArgumentList, System.Xml.XmlWriter) method. For more information, see How To: Transform a Node Fragment.
