how to display xml file

I am new to vb.net and to using xml. I have been able to use an xml/xsl. I have created the xmldoc and applied a style sheet to it. . This is the last line where the transform has happened to my document.

xslTran.Transform(xmlDoc, Nothing, writer, Nothing)

How do I display this on the window?

Write the contents of the XmlDoc out... either using console.writeline or a multiline textbox...

How does it get written to the window? Does console mean the window?

I don't know buddy.... you have to tell me what you want to write to...

1) Console window for a Console Application

or

2) A multi-line textbox in a Windows Forms Application (if you have a Form object in your project, you want this one)


after you do the transform, use an XmlReader to spit out the XML to the textbox...

On some days it feels like I am standing still... but I am learning...

I finally have all of my code working, and am able to display the transformed xslt in HTML form in the text window. Just don't have my data in it yet. I thought the transform would take the loaded xslt and merge it with the xmldoc. My code looks like this:


Dim ds As New DataSet("Assessment")
Dim sqladp As New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter("SELECT idAssessment, strDemPatLstNm, StrDemPatFstNm,IntDemPatAge FROM tblDemographics WHERE idAssessment='" & m_subject.Assessment() & "'", objRefs.Conn)
sqladp.Fill(ds, "Assessment")
' Loading Data Set into xmlDoc
Dim xmlDoc As Xml.XmlDataDocument = New Xml.XmlDataDocument(ds)

'1 Creating a obj to use to transform
Dim xslTran As Xml.Xsl.XslTransform = New Xml.Xsl.XslTransform

'Load style sheet into xslTran sheet sits in bin directory
xslTran.Load("Quick_View.xslt")

'Create file to hold Transformed data
Dim writer2 As Xml.XmlTextWriter = New Xml.XmlTextWriter(Application.LocalUserAppDataPath & "xslt_output.html", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8)
---------------------------------------------------
' Load file with xml data from xmldoc
xslTran.Transform(xmlDoc, Nothing, writer2, Nothing)
----------------------------------------------------


writer2.Close()

Me.AxWebBrowser1.Navigate(Application.LocalUserAppDataPath & "xslt_output.html")

Any any ideas?
