Advanced XSL Transformations With ASP.NET - Conclusion
(Page 7 of 7 )
That’s about it for today. Let us quickly review the concepts introduced in this article. First, we demonstrated the use of XPath expressions to filter XML data and followed it with an example that shows you how to use the XsltArgumentList() object to pass name-value parameter to an underlying style sheet.
Subsequently, we showed how to use the custom <msxsl:script> element to define custom functions written in our favorite .NET language (i.e. C#) in an XSLT style sheet and how you can invoke them in your style sheets.
The final example, building on the all concepts that we have mastered so far, demonstrated how you can conveniently pipeline the output of one XSL Transformation to another using the MemoryStream() object.
Earlier, we promised to list a set of URLs for XSL Transformations tutorials on the Internet. Here it is:
