XslCompiledTransform Constructor (Boolean)

The following conditions must be met in order to step into the code and debug the style sheet:

• The enableDebug parameter is set to true.

• The style sheet is passed to the Load method either as a URI, or an implementation of the XmlReader class that implements the IXmlLineInfo interface. The IXmlLineInfo interface is implemented on all text-parsing XmlReader objects.

  In other words, if the style sheet is loaded using an IXPathNavigable object, such as an XmlDocument or XPathDocument, or an XmlReader implementation that does not implement the IXmlLineInfo interface, you cannot debug the style sheet.

• The XmlResolver used to load the style sheet is a file-based XmlResolver, such as the XmlUrlResolver (this is the default XmlResolver used by the XslCompiledTransform class).

• The style sheet is located on the local machine or on the intranet.

The following example shows how to enable XSLT debugging.

// Enable XSLT debugging.
XslCompiledTransform xslt = new XslCompiledTransform(true);

// Load the style sheet.
xslt.Load("output.xsl");

// Create the writer.
XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings();
settings.Indent=true;
XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create("output.xml", settings);

// Execute the transformation.
xslt.Transform("books.xml", writer);
writer.Close();
