Answer 1

To do this you can use the following code:

using(XmlStateReader xr = new XmlStateReader(XmlReader.Create(@"C:\path-to-file.xml")))
{
    var fmtr = new XmlIts1Formatter();
    fmtr.ValidateConformance = false;
    fmtr.GraphAides.Add(new ClinicalDocumentDatatypeFormatter());
    var parseResult = fmtr.Parse(xr, typeof(ClinicalDocument));
    // There is a variable called structure which will contain your
    var cda = parseResult.Structure as ClinicalDocument;
} 

Not sure if that will help you transform, but that will read a CDA into a ClinicalDocument class.
