Question

I am currently running a live ‘in-memory’ XSLT transformation using the following code

XmlDocument XmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
XmlDoc.LoadXml(DS.GetXml());
XslCompiledTransform XsltTranformation = new XslCompiledTransform();
XsltTranformation.Load(@"C:\Users\maskew\Desktop\XSLTMapping.xsl");
Stream XmlStream = new MemoryStream();
XmlDoc.Save(XmlStream); //Stream is still blank after this line
XmlReader XmlRdr = XmlReader.Create(XmlStream);
MemoryStream stm = new MemoryStream();
XsltTranformation.Transform(XmlRdr, null, stm);
stm.Position = 1;
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(stm);
string Output = sr.ReadToEnd();
Output = Output.Substring(2);
XmlDoc.LoadXml(Output);
XmlWriter XmlWrtr = XmlWriter.Create(@"C:\Users\maskew\Desktop\XmlMapping.xml");
XmlDoc.WriteTo(XmlWrtr);
XmlWrtr.Flush();
XmlWrtr.Close();

However, when I move the file from XmlDocument to MemoryStream in line 6 the stream contains nothing when checked and thus stopping the whole program from running.

Does anyone have any idea why this would be occuring?

UPDATED: The stream is containing information now, however the XmlReader object is receiving none of it still.

Try a simplyfying

XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.PreserveWhitespace = true;
xmlDoc.LoadXml(DS.GetXml());

// Create a writer for writing the transformed file.
XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(@"C:\Users\maskew\Desktop\XmlMapping.xml");

// Create and load the transform with script execution enabled.
XslCompiledTransform transform = new XslCompiledTransform();
XsltSettings settings = new XsltSettings();
settings.EnableScript = true;
transform.Load(@"C:\Users\maskew\Desktop\XSLTMapping.xsl", settings, null);

// Execute the transformation.
transform.Transform(xmlDoc, writer);
