Chapter 46. System.Xml.Xsl
The System.Xml.Xsl
namespace provides support
to Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT). XSLT is
a W3C specification that describes how to transform one XML document
into another with the use of stylesheet templates. For example, a
common use of XSLT is to transform an XML document into standard
HTML by transforming the specific elements of the input XML document
into comparable HTML elements. XSLT templates use XPath expression
syntax to specify which nodes of the input XML are transformed.
The XslTransform
class constructs the transform object. It loads
a stylesheet and applies its templates to an XML document to output
the transformed data. The XsltArgumentList
class creates objects
for XSLT parameters that can be loaded into the stylesheet at runtime. XsltContext
provides the XSLT processor with the current context
node information used for XPath expression resolution.
