XSL Transformations using ASP.NET
(Page 1 of 7 )
XSL Transformation is a technology introduced by the W3C to simplify the tasks of presenting and formatting XML data. In this article, Harish Kamath demonstrates the capabilities of the .NET platform to transform XML documents using XSLT style sheets.
Transformation time
Right from its initial days, XML grabbed the imagination of the programming community. If at first, everyone struggled with the concept of custom tags (or elements as purists like to call them), soon the issue of rendering the information present in these custom XML files took center stage. This is where the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) stepped in and introduced the concept of XSL Transformations - a technology that aimed to simplify the tasks of presenting and formatting XML data.
While you can learn more about XSL Transformations on the official website of the W3C - http://www.w3c.org - and the myriad of tutorials on the Internet on this topic, this article will concentrate the capabilities of the .NET platform to transform XML documents using XSLT style sheets.
I promise that I am going to keep it simple and straightforward. The XML data used in the examples are pretty easy to understand. I will assume that you are familiar with the basic concepts of XSL Transformations. I will also assume that you know the basic rules of ASP.NET scripting.
Let’s get the show on the road, shall we?
