How to transform large XML file? using .net

[raj@aol.com]

we have a 3 gig of xml data. we need to transform this data using our XSL
file.
when i use the regular transform methods of course i run out of memeory.

the XSL file has quite bit of rules so i really cannot move them in to my
code.
is there way to transform the file streamingly?

thanks.

Not using XSL. You can, of course, read the file using an XmlReader, and
write it using an XmlWriter. This will work, no matter how large the file
is.

Also, if you're aware of the structure of the data in the file, you may find
that you don't need the full generality of XSL. Among other things, there
may be large sections of the file that would not have been modified. You can
read and write those without having to touch them.
