I have the following variable that accepts a file name:
var xtr = new XmlTextReader(xmlFileName) { WhitespaceHandling = WhitespaceHandling.None };
var xd = new XmlDocument();
xd.Load(xtr);
I would like to change it so that I can pass in an object. I don't want to have to serialize the object to file first.
Is this possible?
Update:
My original intentions were to take an xml document, merge some xslt (stored in a file), then output and return html... like this:
public string TransformXml(string xmlFileName, string xslFileName)
{
var xtr = new XmlTextReader(xmlFileName) { WhitespaceHandling = WhitespaceHandling.None };
var xd = new XmlDocument();
xd.Load(xtr);
var xslt = new System.Xml.Xsl.XslCompiledTransform();
xslt.Load(xslFileName);
var stm = new MemoryStream();
xslt.Transform(xd, null, stm);
stm.Position = 1;
var sr = new StreamReader(stm);
xtr.Close();
return sr.ReadToEnd();
}
In the above code I am reading in the xml from a file. Now what I would like to do is just work with the object, before it was serialized to the file.
So let me illustrate my problem using code
public string TransformXMLFromObject(myObjType myobj , string xsltFileName)
{
// Notice the xslt stays the same.
// Its in these next few lines that I can't figure out how to load the xml document (xd) from an object, and not from a file....
var xtr = new XmlTextReader(xmlFileName) { WhitespaceHandling = WhitespaceHandling.None };
var xd = new XmlDocument();
xd.Load(xtr);
}
