XmlDataSource.Transforming Event
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
public: event EventHandler^ Transforming { void add (EventHandler^ value); void remove (EventHandler^ value); }
/** @event */ public void add_Transforming (EventHandler value) /** @event */ public void remove_Transforming (EventHandler value)
In JScript, you can handle the events defined by a class, but you cannot define your own.
Not applicable.
Handle the Transforming event to set the TransformArgumentList property with an XsltArgumentList object before the XmlDataSource control performs an XML transformation.
For more information about handling events, see Consuming Events.
The following code example demonstrates how to use an XmlDataSource control with a TreeView control to display transformed XML data. The XML transformation is performed using the style sheet indicated by the TransformFile property. Additionally, the style sheet uses transform arguments that are passed to the data source control in an XsltArgumentList at run time. The code example demonstrates how to pass the XsltArgumentList object to the data source control by handling the Transforming event with a custom event handler.

The XML file in the code example has the following data:
<bookstore>
<genre name="fiction">
<book ISBN="0000000000">
<title>Secrets of Silicon Valley</title>
<price>12.95</price>
<chapters>

<chapter num="1" name="Introduction" />
<chapter num="2" name="Body" />
<chapter num="3" name="Conclusion" />
</chapters>
</book>
</genre>

The transformation of the XML data is performed with the following style sheet:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:param name="purchdate"/>
<xsl:template match="bookstore">
