Transform using xml and xsd

[Michael]

I am doing a transform using an xml document and an xslt based on the
xml document. What I want to do is create the xslt from the xsd so that
it uses types rather than names.

The problem i have is that neither the xsltransform object or an
xmldocument object allow you to assign a schema so how will the
transform know it is based on a schema rather than an instance.

I am passing strings to both objects rather than files and neither can
guarentee that any path included would exist on the machine where the
transformation will happen.

Thanks in advance

XslTransform and XmlDocument in .NET 1.0/1.1 indeed do not have any
access to schema information so all XSLT transformations you are doing
with those .NET versions are not in any way schema aware.
I am not sure I understand how you want to "create the xslt from the
xsd" and what using "types rather than names" is supposed to look like
in XSLT 1.0/XPath 1.0, perhaps what you want to do is not possible. But
maybe you can explain in more detail what you want to do.

You need XSLT 2.0 Schema-aware processor. Microsoft doesn't provide any
of these yet. Look at paid version of Saxon.
