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. Figure 46-1 shows the types in this
namespace.
