PostPosted: XML and the .NET Framework, XSL Transformation not generating expected result after upgrade to .Net 2.0 Top

I am currently upgrading a .Net 1.1 project to .Net 2.0 and one of my XSLT is not generating the expected results. I even used the new XSLCompiledTransform object , didnot help much ..

Below is the XSL File , it takes in some parameters , does anyone know of any part of the XSL that is obsolete or so. Looks like <xsl:if> is not working ..

Any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated.

Simply stating: "The xslt transformation is not working" is not going to help -- it is like saying: "Doctor, I'm not feeling well..."

Please, provide a complete (but the minimal possible) code example that consists of the source xml file(s), the xslt file(s), the expected result, the result produced and an explanation of what constitutes the unwanted difference of behavior.

Cheers,
Dimitre Novatchev.

If those parameters like CurrentState are supposed to be global parameters that can be set from outside of the stylesheet before the transformation is being run then you need to include them as top level elements, as direct children of the xsl:stylesheet element e.g.

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

<xsl:param name="CurrentState"/>

Your stylesheet defines those parameters inside of a template and that way they are not global and cannot be set from outside of the stylesheet. XslTransform in .NET 1.x is unfortunately buggy in this regardance but for XslCompiledTransform in .NET 2.0 the placement of xsl:param matters.

I apologize for not giving enough information , Below is the C# Code , XML document , XSL Argument value and the output of XSL Transformation in VS 2003 and VS 2005 , If you closely look at the XSL output in 2003 , there is a label called "CONTENTPANE " but this is not rendered in VS 2005.

Thanks

You need to make sure the XSLT parameter that you want to set from outside of the stylesheet are defined as top level elements in the stylesheet.

Hello Ganesh,

It was actually a bug that it worked in .NET Framework 1.1:

BUG: Local XSLT parameter values are overwritten when executing an XSLT Transformation in .NET Framework v1.1

The XSLT implementation in .NET Framework 2.0 is much more compliant with the W3C XSLT 1.0 specification. Please fix the stylesheet; that way it will work not only with the old XslTransform processor, but with other XSLT engines as well. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,
Anton Lapounov
