How to pass values from one XSLT to another contro

sani723 · March 27th, 2007, 12:31 AM

i am extracting some information from xml document. and then i need to pass one value and that is ID to another page (any page .aspx or HTML etc.)....suppose here is my document.

<college>
<student id="1">
   <name>xxx</name>
   <roll>xxx</roll>
</student>
<student id="2">
   <name>xxx</name>
   <roll>xxx</roll>
</student>
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
</college>

and then i apply some template like this

<xsl:apply-templates select="//student[name='xxx']" />

and suppose there comes 5 records having [u]id</u> from 1 to 5. now i want to pass these ids to another page. how can i do this. i think there is not any array sort of functionality in xslt. any idea will be really appreciated. thanks

I don't really see this as an XML/XSLt question. Sounds like you'd be better processing the XML via the DOM, XmlDocument/XPathDocument in .NET, and selecting the IDs that way. You can then pass them as a delimited string in the URL, myPage.aspx?IDS=1*2*3, for example. Alternatively post data as an XML document:

Code:

<IDS><id>1</id><id>2</id><id>3</id></IDS>

Or look at Server.Transfer for passing control to a new page.

In ASP.NET you can use XSLT. First you need to process your XML file up (use XSLT). Then just pass the ID to quertstring.

Code:

<asp:Xml id="Xml1" runat="server" DocumentSource="~/whatsnew.xml" TransformSource="~/rss.xslt"></asp:Xml>

Code:

                  <a target="_new">
                    <xsl:attribute name="href">
                      editRSS1.aspx?id=<xsl:value-of select="../@id"/>
                    </xsl:attribute>
                    <xsl:apply-templates/>
                  </a>

Your link would look something like this:
