XsltCompiler.Compile Method (XmlReader)

Compile a stylesheet, delivered using an XmlReader.

Return Value

An XsltExecutable which represents the compiled stylesheet object. The XsltExecutable may be run as many times as required, in the same or a different thread. The XsltExecutable is not affected by any changes made to the XsltCompiler once it has been compiled.

Remarks

The XmlReader is responsible for parsing the document; this method builds a tree representation of the document (in an internal Saxon format) and compiles it. If the XmlReader is an XmlTextReader, Saxon will set its Normalization property to true, and will wrap it in a (non-validating) XmlValidatingReader to ensure that entity references are expanded. If the XmlReader has a BaseUri property, then that property determines the base URI of the stylesheet module, which is used when resolving any xsl:include or

xsl:import

declarations. If the XmlReader has no BaseUri property, then the BaseUri property of the Compiler is used instead.
