Dynamic creation of XSLT from C#

Dynamic creation of XSLT from C#

• J.H

  XSL file is an XML document.

  You can edit it as any other XML -- read and write with XmlTextReader/XmlTextWriter or load it to XmlDocument and alter node by node. You can load it to XPathDocument and run another XSL transformation to transform XSL to XSL.

  The same time it is a text so you free to open it as a text file and change it char by char.

  I don't understand part of question: "some operation finally the original XSL should be there in my server".

  2C: Reload the file will work. For completeness I'd like to add that you can create XmlReader that reads XML directly from XmlDocument and pass this reader to XslCompiledTransfor.

  a XSLT stylesheet is an xml file. If you need to dynamically create one in memory you can use the XMLDocument class. Or if you need to modify an existing one, load it into the XMLDocument class and change it in there.

  When it comes to running the XSLT transformation you'll need to save to file, and then reload the file (unless there is an overload of the Transform method that accepts XML as a string).

  Hi, thnaks for your reply,

  While tranform the XML using xslt, can i store it to an object /

  my code look like this

  ContentMLMapppingFilePath = @"..\\..";

  ContentMLMapppingFileName = @"ContentMLMapping.xsl";

  string ContentMLfileName = string.Empty;

  ContentMLfileName = ContentMLMapppingFilePath +"\\" + ContentMLMapppingFileName;

  XslTransform objXslTransform = new XslTransform();

  objXslTransform.Load(ContentMLfileName);

  XPathDocument objXPathDocument = new XPathDocument(NtmMLfileName);

  XsltArgumentList objXsltArgumentList = new XsltArgumentList();

  Mapping objMapping = new Mapping();

  objXsltArgumentList.AddExtensionObject("urn:myObj", objMapping);

  string contentMLFileName = @"..\\..\\ContentMLSample.xml";

  XmlTextWriter objXmlTextWriter = new XmlTextWriter(contentMLFileName,null);

  objXslTransform.Transform(objXPathDocument, objXsltArgumentList,objXmlTextWriter, null);

  objXmlTextWriter.Close();

  once run this it tranforms into and XML file called ContentMLSample.xml

  i want to store this transformation output into an object not a file,

  I tried using the return type as xml reader, it is giving error can you suggest me

  For C# XSL file is just a file.
  You can write and append to this file as in any other file.
