XSLT is
used to transform XML document into an ordinary web page where you would
have applied the style information for formatting the data that you
have got from the xml file.

To work
in XML, XSLT in an ASP.Net page, first create the xml file that has
the data needed and then create the xsl file that has the style information
and details on how to display the data found in the xml file. Once this
file is also created, you can work with ASP.Net to get is displayed.
If you
find it difficult to work with xslt files for the xml files, then you
can use tools like XML Spy to create. They can also be created in Visual
Studio .Net.
Import
the namespaces, System.Xml and System.Xml.Xsl in the code view of the
ASP.Net page. Now create an XmlDocument object and use the Load method
available for that document object to load the xml file. Now create
a XslTransform object and load the xslt file in it.
Before
doing these two steps, drag an xml server control into your aspx page.
Now assign the Document property of the xml server control to that of
the XmlDocument object and the Transform property of the xml server
control to that of the XslTransform object. Now run the code and you
will get the web page displayed according to the xslt file you have
created.
