Hello I looked at this forum
transform csv file to xml

this answers one of my question for transforming a flat file to xml using xslt.

Kindly help me with the following queries.

1. How to run the xslt from a windows program and get the output as a message.

2. How to pass the file name as parameter to xslt from the program.


Previously for converting a xml to xml message using XSLT 2.0

I was using VB program to run the xslt and inside the xslt I used xsl:message to get the output as message instead of xml file.

And also used XSLT2Transformer.XmlTranslate() to translate the message

In Visual Studio, add the XML file to a project. Open the XML file. When the file is open and its window is active, you should see, in the Properties window, that you can specify an output filename and a stylesheet. Also, you should see that the menu bar now contains an "XML" item.

If you pick "Show XSLT output" from the "XML" menu, VS will apply the specified transform to the XML file, write its output to the file you specified, and then open that file. If the file has an .xml extension, it'll open it in a text editor window; if it has an .htm extension, it'll open it in a browser window.

It's a little bit clunky (it seems to me that a menu that appears and vanishes instead of being enabled/disabled is kind of hinky), but it works well enough, and it's in the tool you're already using.
