I understand that the output of the transform method could be to any IStream supporting object. I am attempting to get the output into a DOMDocument but I am failing miserably. All I can get is the string output. Anyone have a small working example?


Love,
Michael

Can you provide an example that has not worked?

Thank you in advance for your time.

If I comment out the line where the output is set, I can see that the transform is working by readin the text from output. I obviously need to do something to the document that recieves the output.

try
{
    HRESULT hr;
    IXSLTemplatePtr xsltemplate;
    IXMLDOMDocumentPtr xsldocument;
    // create a document to hold the xslt template
    hr = xsltemplate.CreateInstance("Msxml2.XSLTemplate");
    hr = xsldocument.CreateInstance("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOM Document");

    // load the transform
    xsldocument->async = false;
    xsldocument->load("test.xsl");
    xsltemplate->stylesheet = xsldocument;

    // load the xml to be transformed
    IXMLDOMDocumentPtr xml;
    hr = xml.CreateInstance("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument ");
    xml->async = false;
    xml->load("test.xml");

    // create a processor
    IXSLProcessorPtr proc;
    proc = xsltemplate->createProcessor();

    // create a document to be the output
    IXMLDOMDocumentPtr resultxml;
    hr = resultxml.CreateInstance("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDo cument");

    // do the trasnform
    proc->input = variant_t((IUnknown*)xml);
    proc->setStartMode("versions", "");
    proc->output = variant_t((IUnknown*)resultxml);
    proc->transform();

        // empty messagebox
    ::MessageBox(0,resultxml->xml,0,0);

    }
    catch(_com_error e)
    {
        ::MessageBox(0,e.Description(),"exception",0);
    }

Love,

For this to work the output has to be a valid xml document, your output doesn't have an all encompassing document element.

Thank you. This would qualify as a stupid mistake.


Love,
Michael

We've all done worse...
I was a bit surprised in some ways that it let you construct an invalid document when you specify output="xml".
