Examples

The following example demonstrates the GetEntity and ResolveUri methods.

#using <System.dll>
#using <System.Xml.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Xml;

int main()
{
   XmlUrlResolver^ resolver = gcnew XmlUrlResolver;
   Uri^ baseUri = gcnew Uri( "http://servername/tmp/test.xsl" );
   Uri^ fulluri = resolver->ResolveUri( baseUri, "includefile.xsl" );

   // Get a stream object containing the XSL file
   Stream^ s = dynamic_cast<Stream^>(resolver->GetEntity( fulluri, nullptr, Stream::typeid ));

   // Read the stream object displaying the contents of the XSL file
   XmlTextReader^ reader = gcnew XmlTextReader( s );
   while ( reader->Read() )
   {
      Console::WriteLine( reader->ReadOuterXml() );
   }
}

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;

 public class Sample
 {

   public static void Main()
   {
       XmlUrlResolver resolver = new XmlUrlResolver();

       Uri baseUri = new Uri ("http://servername/tmp/test.xsl");

       Uri fulluri=resolver.ResolveUri(baseUri, "includefile.xsl");

       // Get a stream object containing the XSL file
       Stream s=(Stream)resolver.GetEntity(fulluri, null, typeof(Stream));

       // Read the stream object displaying the contents of the XSL file
       XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(s);
       while (reader.Read())
       {
          Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadOuterXml());
       }
   }
}

Public Class Sample
    
  Public Shared Sub Main()

     Dim resolver As New XmlUrlResolver()
     Dim baseUri As New Uri("http://servername/tmp/test.xsl")
     Dim fulluri As Uri = resolver.ResolveUri(baseUri, "includefile.xsl")
            
     ' Get a stream object containing the XSL file
     Dim s As Stream = CType(resolver.GetEntity(fulluri, Nothing, GetType(Stream)), Stream)
            
     ' Read the stream object displaying the contents of the XSL file
     Dim reader As New XmlTextReader(s)
     While reader.Read()
        Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadOuterXml())
     End While
        
  End Sub
End Class

Remarks

This method is used when the caller wants to map a given URI to an object that contains the resource that the URI represents.

For the asynchronous version of this method, see GetEntityAsync.
