.NET 3.5 doesn’t completely support XPATH 2.0 or XSLT 2.0, which is just too bad. Does anyone know if these two will be included and fully supported in any future .NET versions?

    I don’t think they’ll add support for XPath 2.0 or XSLT 2.0 any time soon.

    However, you shouldn’t feel bad if these are not part of the BCL, as long as you have 3rd party implementations available:

    • Saxon: XPath 3.1, XQuery 3.1, XSLT 3.0
    • XmlPrime: XPath 3.1, XQuery 3.1, XSLT 2.0
    • QueryMachine: XPath 2.0, XQuery 1.0
    • Lightweight XPath2 for .NET: XPath 2.0
    • Exselt: XSLT 3.0

    Microsoft is customer oriented. If customers don’t want it, they won’t make it.


    2009-11-18: I contacted the XML team here and got this response:

    While XML continues to be a key part
    of our platform going forward, we have
    decided not to pursue an XSLT 2.0
    implementation at this time. If there
    is a specific XSLT task you’re trying
    to accomplish and are having
    difficulty with XSLT 1.0, please let
    us know and we’ll do our best to help.
