xsltransform.transform() method not works in 2003

[sudhaMurugesan]

Hi all,

I am using VS2003. I am new to VS2003. I cannot transform an xml file into a string output in my windows application. But the same function works well with VS2005. it also asks for xmlresolver in the transform() function. I provided Nothing as 4th parameter, eventhough it doesnt work. anybody can help me?. I dont know where i am wrong. I need to create html files with this xml data.

[CODE="VB"]
Public Shared Function CreateHtmlFile( ByVal ds As DataSet, ByVal xslpath As String) As String

Dim document As XmlDocument ' Xml document root
Dim navigator As XPathNavigator ' navigate document
Dim transformer As XslTransform ' transform document
Dim output As StringWriter

document = New XmlDocument()
document.LoadXm l(ds.GetXml())

' create navigator
navigator = document.Create Navigator

' load style sheet
transformer = New XslTransform()
transformer.Loa d(xslpath)



' transform XML data
output = New StringWriter()
transformer.Tra nsform(navigato r, Nothing, output)

' display transformation in text box
Console.WriteLi ne(output.ToStr ing)

' write transformation result to disk
Dim stream As FileStream = _
New FileStream("c:\ Billcustomer1.h tml", FileMode.Create )

Dim writer As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(st ream)
writer.Write(ou tput.ToString)

' close streams
writer.Close()
output.Close()
Return output.ToString ()
End Function
[/code]

With thanks,
Sudha

Does the function return any error message you can post? And why don't you just use VB.NET 2005 instead of VB.NET 2003 if it works in 2005?
