One Handed Man \( OHM - Terry Burns \)

I've been battling with this stupid problem for hours now.

WebApp:

Trying to do a simple transformation using XSLT to a Web Page, but it just
failes without an error message ( In other words, it bums out with a general
exeption with no message ).

It creates the Ouput.html, but errors and does not fill it with HTML.

Where am I going wrong ?

Cheers - OHM

//CODE
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Put user code to initialize the page here
Dim xreader As New XmlTextReader(Server.MapPath("XDATA.XML"))
Dim xDoc As XPathDocument = New XPathDocument(xreader)
Dim oXSLT As XslTransform = New XslTransform
Dim xWriter As XmlTextWriter = New
XmlTextWriter(Server.MapPath("Output.html"), Nothing)

Try
oXSLT.Load(Server.MapPath("XDATA.XSLT"))
oXSLT.Transform(xDoc, Nothing, xWriter)

Catch ex As XsltException
Response.Write("<B>FAILED - XSLT Exception </B" & ex.Message)
Catch ex As XsltCompileException
Response.Write("<B>FAILED: XLST Compilation Exception</B" &
ex.Message)
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write("<B>FAILED: Unkown Exception - </B" & ex.Message)

Finally

xreader.Close()
xWriter.Close()
End Try
End Sub

If anyone is interested, normal brain functions resumed this AM and problems
were fixed.

That was quick. One mention of XML or XSLT and my brain stays dead for a
week :P

Does that mean you are looking at them as well ?

BTW, what does :S mean ?

No, it doesn't - sorry!! I'm busy trying to get data from a 64 pin I/O card
and cross-linked PLC :)

:S is an MSN Messenger smiley - it's a confused look. Wiggly mouth sort of
thing.
