Gets an XmlWriterSettings object that contains the output information derived from the xsl:output element of the style sheet.
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
Public ReadOnly Property OutputSettings As XmlWriterSettings Get
public XmlWriterSettings OutputSettings { get; }
public: property XmlWriterSettings^ OutputSettings { XmlWriterSettings^ get (); }
member OutputSettings : XmlWriterSettings
Property Value
Type: System.Xml.XmlWriterSettingsA read-only XmlWriterSettings object that contains the output information derived from the xsl:output element of the style sheet. This value can be null.
This property is populated after a successful call to the Load method. It contains information derived from the xsl:output element of a compiled style sheet. This XmlWriterSettings object can be passed to the XmlWriter.Create method to create the XmlWriter object to which you want to output.
The following example shows how to use the OutputSettings property to create an XmlWriter object that writes text to the console.
Imports System Imports System.IO Imports System.Xml Imports System.Xml.Xsl Imports System.Xml.XPath Public Class Sample Private Const filename As String = "books.xml" Private Const stylesheet As String = "outputConsole.xsl" Public Shared Sub Main() ' Create the XslTransform object and load the style sheet. Dim xslt As New XslCompiledTransform() xslt.Load(stylesheet) ' Load the file to transform. Dim doc As New XPathDocument(filename) ' Create the writer. Dim writer As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(Console.Out, xslt.OutputSettings) ' Transform the file and send the output to the console. xslt.Transform(doc, writer) writer.Close() End Sub 'Main End Class 'Sample
using System; using System.IO; using System.Xml; using System.Xml.Xsl; using System.Xml.XPath; public class Sample { private const String filename = "books.xml"; private const String stylesheet = "outputConsole.xsl"; public static void Main() { // Create the XslTransform object and load the style sheet. XslCompiledTransform xslt = new XslCompiledTransform(); xslt.Load(stylesheet); // Load the file to transform. XPathDocument doc = new XPathDocument(filename); // Create the writer. XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(Console.Out, xslt.OutputSettings); // Transform the file and send the output to the console. xslt.Transform(doc, writer); writer.Close(); } }
The example uses the books.xml and outputConsole.xsl files as input.
