Applying an XSLT Transform to a DataSet

  • บทความ

The WriteXml method of the DataSet enables you to write the contents of a DataSet as XML data. A common task is to then transform that XML to another format using XSL transformations (XSLT). However, synchronizing a DataSet with an XmlDataDocument enables you to apply an XSLT stylesheet to the contents of a DataSet without having to first write the contents of the DataSet as XML data using WriteXml.

The following example populates a DataSet with tables and relationships, synchronizes the DataSet with an XmlDataDocument, and writes a portion of the DataSet as an HTML file using an XSLT stylesheet. The following are the contents of the XSLT stylesheet:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">  
  
<xsl:template match="CustomerOrders">  
  <HTML>  
  <STYLE>  
  BODY {font-family:verdana;font-size:9pt}  
  TD   {font-size:8pt}  
  </STYLE>  
    <BODY>  
    <TABLE BORDER="1">  
      <xsl:apply-templates select="Customers"/>  
    </TABLE>  
    </BODY>  
  </HTML>  
</xsl:template>  
  
<xsl:template match="Customers">  
    <TR><TD>  
      <xsl:value-of select="ContactName"/>, <xsl:value-of select="Phone"/><BR/>  
    </TD></TR>  
      <xsl:apply-templates select="Orders"/>  
</xsl:template>  
  
<xsl:template match="Orders">  
  <TABLE BORDER="1">  
    <TR><TD valign="top"><B>Order:</B></TD><TD valign="top"><xsl:value-of select="OrderID"/></TD></TR>  
    <TR><TD valign="top"><B>Date:</B></TD><TD valign="top"><xsl:value-of select="OrderDate"/></TD></TR>  
    <TR><TD valign="top"><B>Ship To:</B></TD>  
        <TD valign="top"><xsl:value-of select="ShipName"/><BR/>  
        <xsl:value-of select="ShipAddress"/><BR/>  
        <xsl:value-of select="ShipCity"/>, <xsl:value-of select="ShipRegion"/>  <xsl:value-of select="ShipPostalCode"/><BR/>  
        <xsl:value-of select="ShipCountry"/></TD></TR>  
  </TABLE>  
</xsl:template>  
  
</xsl:stylesheet>

The following code fills the DataSet and applies the XSLT style sheet.

Note

If you are applying an XSLT style sheet to a DataSet that contains relations, you achieve best performance if you set the Nested property of the DataRelation to true for each nested relation. This allows you to use XSLT style sheets that implement natural top-down processing to navigate the hierarchy and transform the data, as opposed to using performance-intensive XPath location axes (for example, preceding-sibling and following-sibling in style sheet node test expressions) to navigate it. For more information on nested relations, see Nesting DataRelations.
