Designing Your Own Reporting Service: A Web Service to Convert XML to HTML Using XSL - Developing the XML Web Service continued
(Page 3 of 7 )
Now, let us proceed with the “GenerateHTMLString” method, which is usually called by “BuildHTMLString”.
private string GenerateHTMLString(string sXMLSource)
{
// Create the XslTransform.
XslTransform xslt = new XslTransform();
XmlUrlResolver resolver = new XmlUrlResolver();
resolver.Credentials =
System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
// Load the stylesheet.
string sXSLLocation = GetXSLLocation();
xslt.Load( sXSLLocation );
// Load the XML string.
XmlDataDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDataDocument();
xmlDoc.XmlResolver = resolver;
xmlDoc.LoadXml(sXMLSource);
// Create the Stream to place the output.
Stream stream = new MemoryStream();
// Transform the file.
xslt.Transform(xmlDoc, null, stream, resolver);
// Remember to Flush the Stream and set the position to
0
stream.Flush();
stream.Position = 0;
// Create a StreamReader to Read the Stream and Return
the String
System.IO.StreamReader sr = new System.IO.StreamReader
(stream);
return sr.ReadToEnd();
}
And thus, our coding (development) part is successfully finished. The next section helps you to build the solution and test it from within Visual Studio.NET IDE to your own satisfaction.
