I keep getting an error during XSLT transformation: An error occurred while loading document 'https://www.example.com/myxml/example.xml'. See InnerException for a complete description of the error. I pass in a well formed xmldocument and the path to my xslt file. The xslt uses the document function to load the above fake url. Don't worry, the real url is accessible I've tested it. It should be able to do that per the xslt settings allowing that. Additionally, the transformation works in Visual Studio when using the XSL Transform feature. It appears that, no matter the settings, I just can't give the xsl tranformation enough permissions to do it.
static XElement TransformXElement(XElement xmlElement, string xsltFilePath)
{
try
{
// Load the XSLT file
XslCompiledTransform xslt = new XslCompiledTransform();
XsltSettings settings = new XsltSettings();
settings.EnableDocumentFunction = true; // Enable document() function if needed
// Create an XmlUrlResolver with credentials if required
XmlUrlResolver resolver = new XmlUrlResolver();
resolver.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials; // Example: Use default credentials
// Load XSLT with resolver and settings
xslt.Load(xsltFilePath, settings, resolver);
// Create an XDocument from the XElement
XDocument xDocument = new XDocument(xmlElement);
// Prepare an XmlWriter to capture the transformed output
using (StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter())
using (XmlWriter xmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(stringWriter, xslt.OutputSettings))
{
// Apply the transformation
xslt.Transform(xDocument.CreateReader(), null, xmlWriter);
// Parse the transformed XML string back into an XElement
return XElement.Parse(stringWriter.ToString());
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Error during XSLT transformation: {ex.Message}");
return null; // Handle the error appropriately in your application
}
}
