XML / XSL

You need to namespace qualify the type references - you declare them in your target namespace, but when you reference them, don't mention that namespace. You can either use explicit namespace references or (and this is easier) use your target namespace as the default namespace for the schema.

Sounds like either the flat-files coming with entity encoding already done, or the converters doing the encoding twice. You can't fix that once you're in the XML domain - the original text might have been '! Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Set the filter in the createTreeWalker method call.

That will give you an iterator that'll go through the nodes that match the XPath expression you gave to the XPath evaluator. Read up on XPath - it's a very useful tool to know how to use.

Actually a brilliant answer :laugh:

Well I downloaded your code and it works fine. EXCEPT, this is a WinForms application and you are displaying the information via Console.WriteLine so all the output is going to the console output window rather than being displayed in your windows form. I would suggest that you spend some more time learning how to use WinForms applications before proceeding further.

I suspect CDATA sections[^] will be useful for this. Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Add a parameter at the top level of the XSLT file: <xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" exclude-result-prefixes="xsl"> <!-- Allow the user to specify the .cs filename --> <xsl:param name="CSFilename"/> <!-- The rest of your XSLT - use $CSFilename to access the .cs filename --> </xsl:stylesheet> You then use the XsltArgumentList[^] class to add the parameter values when you perform the transform.

Thanks a lot for your help :) Regards, Nancy

Yes, I know. My first action was to save your code and run it - at which point I got the error message I described. So, I tried the URL via the address bar and it worked. I've since found this page[^], which describes the error message, but in relation to jQuery. It tells you that FireFox's security model is stopping you access the page.

I think you might want to look at vtd-xml it is ideally designed to do what you described..
