Hello,
I am writing this post because I've seen many questions regarding XSLT 2.0 in .NET in the forum, sometimes people ask for many questions in XSLT for instance xsl grouping, retrieving the current date ...
Unfortunatly these functionnalities are not available in the native XSLT processor of the .NET framework 2.0, 3.5 and 4 because it is an XSLT 1.0 processor.
However, this doesn't mean that we can't work with XSLT 2.0 in .NET.Saxon is an XSLT and XQuery processor created by Michael Kay. There are open-source and also closed-source commercial versions. Versions exist for Java and .NET.
You can find a full tutorial on the usage of the Saxon processor in .NET with source code download on my blog :http://aelassas.free.fr/blog/?p=56
I hope this post will be very useful for fans of XSLT 2.0!
Kind regards,
