XslReader provides an efficient way to read results of an XSL transformation via an XmlReader API. Due to architectural and performance reasons the XslCompiledTransform class doesn't support transforming to an XmlReader as obsolete XslTransform class did and XslReader's goal is to supplement such functionality.

XslReader has been developed and contributed to the Mvp.Xml project by Sergey Dubinets (Microsoft XML Team).

The following tables list the members exposed by XslReader.

Public Constructors

  Name Description
Public method XslReader Overloaded. Creates new XslReader instance with given XslCompiledTransform, mode (multithreaded/singlethreaded) and initial buffer size. The buffer will be expanded if necessary to be able to store any element start tag with all its attributes.
