I have an XslCompiledTransform
object, and I want the output in an XmlReader
object, as I need to pass it through a second stylesheet. I'm getting a bit confused - I can successfully transform some XML and read it using either a StreamReader
or an XmlDocument
, but when I try an XmlReader
, I get nothing.
In the example below, stylesheet
is my XslCompiledTransform
object. The first two Console.WriteLine
calls output the correct transformed XML, but the third call gives no XML. I'm guessing it might be that the XmlTextReader
is expecting text, so maybe I need to wrap this in a StreamReader..? What am I doing wrong?
MemoryStream transformed = new MemoryStream();
stylesheet.Transform(input, args, transformed);
transformed.Position = 0;
StreamReader s = new StreamReader(transformed);
Console.WriteLine("s = " + s.ReadToEnd()); // writes XML
transformed.Position = 0;
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(transformed);
Console.WriteLine("doc = " + doc.OuterXml); // writes XML
transformed.Position = 0;
XmlReader reader = new XmlTextReader(transformed);
Console.WriteLine("reader = " + reader.ReadOuterXml()); // no XML written
