Question

Good afternoon all,

I dont know why this is proving so difficult but I must be having one of those days!

I am trying to perform and XslCompiledTransform on

Answer 1

transformedDoc.Load(reader.ReadToEnd());

Load reads from a path; you probably want transformedDoc.LoadXml(...). But in all honesty, you could just write the whole thing to a StringWriter - more direct:

string output;
using(var writer = new StringWriter())
{
    processor.Transform(xdoc.CreateNavigator(), null, writer);
    output = writer.ToString();
}

Plus it will work for non-xml outputs (xslt is not obliged to output xml).
