Gday,
Ive got an Vb.2005 windows forms xml based application that generates and consumes XML files. So far Ive uses XSLT files to transform those xml files in a one xml file to one output file senario. XSLT is painful to write, but eventually I get a solution.
Im completely stuck on how to use multiple xml files, ( for example all the files in a directory) to then generate one output file via xslt. I know Ive got to use the Select="Document(???)" and or some variables but I cant seem to get a good example that doesnt rely on another xml file to provide the paths to those documents.
Eg. Nunit 2.2 has an xml results file formated the following way, and I want to read the results of my nightly unit tests results and place it into a single results file called "All_Unit_test_failureResults.html" <font color="#0000ff" size=2>
<?</font><font color="#800000" size=2>xml</font><font color="#0000ff" size=2> </font><font color="#ff0000" size=2>version</font><font color="#0000ff" size=2>=</font><font size=2>"</font><font color="#0000ff" size=2>1.0</font><font size=2>"</font><font color="#0000ff" size=2> </font><font color="#ff0000" size=2>encoding</font><font color="#0000ff" size=2>=</font><font size=2>"</font><font color="#0000ff" size=2>utf-8</font><font size=2>"</font><font color="#0000ff" size=2> </font><font color="#ff0000" size=2>standalone</font><font color="#0000ff" size=2>=</font><font size=2>"</font><font color="#0000ff" size=2>no</font><font size=2>"</font><font color="#0000ff" size=2>?>

</</font><font color="#800000" size=2>test-results</font><font color="#0000ff" size=2>></font><font color="#0000ff" size=2> </font></font>
In this case I dont really want to use any of the dot net framework specific code as I want to use the same technique in a nightly build process (Nant 0.85 currently) . I use the <style> task in Nant and effectively have a similar function in my application.
So is this possible and could someone provide a simple example of such a transformation?
