Processes this node and its children using the supplied XSL Transformations (XSLT) style sheet and returns the resulting transformation in the supplied object.
oXMLDOMNode.transformNodeToObject(stylesheet, outputObject);
DOMDocument object, the document is built according to its properties and its child nodes are replaced during this transformation process. The XML transformation can also be sent to a stream.The following Microsoft® JScript® example sets up the new XML document object named result before making the call to transformNodeToObject.
<SCRIPT>
// Load data.
var source = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0");
source.async = false;
source.load("data.xml");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) {
var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
alert("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
// Load style sheet.
var stylesheet = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0");
stylesheet.async = false;
stylesheet.load("style.xsl");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) {
var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
alert("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
// Set up the resulting document.
var result = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0");
result.async = false;
result.validateOnParse = true;
// Parse results into a result DOM Document.
source.transformNodeToObject(stylesheet, result);
}
}
}
</SCRIPT>
oXMLDOMNode.transformNodeToObject(stylesheet, outputObject)
DOMDocument object, the document is built according to its properties and its child nodes are replaced during this transformation process. The XML transformation can also be sent to a stream.The following Microsoft Visual Basic® example demonstrates the application of multiple style sheets to an XML file in succession.
Dim Source As New Msxml2.DOMDocument50
Dim stylesheet As New Msxml2.DOMDocument50
Dim stylesheet2 As New Msxml2.DOMDocument50
Dim result As New Msxml2.DOMDocument50
Dim result2 As New Msxml2.DOMDocument50
' Load data.
Source.async = False
Source.Load "sample.xml"
If (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) Then
Dim myErr
Set myErr = xmlDoc.parseError
MsgBox("You have error " & myErr.reason)
Else
' Load style sheet.
stylesheet.async = False
stylesheet.Load "stylesheet1.xsl"
If (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) Then
Dim myErr
Set myErr = xmlDoc.parseError
MsgBox("You have error " & myErr.reason)
Else
' Set up the resulting document.
result.async = False
result.validateOnParse = True
result2.async = False
result2.validateOnParse = True
' Parse results into a result DOM Document.
Source.transformNodeToObject stylesheet, result
stylesheet2.async = False
stylesheet2.Load "stylesheet2.xsl"
result.transformNodeToObject stylesheet2, result2
MsgBox result2.xml
End If

HRESULT transformNodeToObject(
IXMLDOMNode *stylesheet,
VARIANT outputObject);
DOMDocument, the document is built according to its properties and its child nodes are replaced during this transformation process. If the variant contains an IStream interface, the XML transformation is sent to this stream.stylesheet or outputObject parameter is Null.This example sets up the new DOMDocument object and puts it into a VARIANT before making the call to transformNodeToObject.
// p is the XML source that is to be transformed, pXSL is the style sheet.
// Create an empty DOM document for the result. (Error checking omitted
// for brevity.)
hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_DOMDocument50, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
IID_IXMLDOMDocument, (void**)&pDoc);
hr = pDoc->QueryInterface(IID_IDispatch, (void **)&pDisp);
vObject.vt = VT_DISPATCH; // the new object
vObject.pdispVal = pDisp;
hr = p->transformNodeToObject(pXSL, vObject); // Transformation is
// present in pDoc.
The stylesheet parameter must be either a DOMDocument node, in which case the document is assumed to be an XSLT style sheet, or a DOM node in the XSLT style sheet, in which case this node is treated as a standalone style sheet fragment.
The source node defines a context in which the style sheet operates, but navigation outside this scope is allowed. For example, a style sheet can use the id function to access other parts of the document.
This method supports both standalone and embedded style sheets and also provides the ability to run a localized style sheet fragment against a particular source node.
The transformNodeToObject method always generates a Unicode byte-order mark, which means it cannot be used in conjunction with other Active Server Pages (ASP) Response.Write or Response.BinaryWrite calls.
