XSLT + XInclude + XPath + .Net [Resolved]

[<ABX]

This is Page.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<page>
	<header>header text </header>
	<rightcolumn>Right column</rightcolumn>
	<leftcolumn>Left Column</leftcolumn>
	<content>this is content</content>
	<footer>this is the footer </footer>
</page>

XInclude usage:

<xi:include href="Page.xml" xpointer="/page/header" parse="xml" />

XInclude is working but it includes all of page.xml's text eg.

header text right column leftcolumn this is content .. ect

what am i doing wrong?

You need to specify an XPointer scheme in the xpointer attribute, like in this example:
<xi:include xpointer="xmlns(xi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude)xpointer(x/xi:include[1])"
parse="xml"/>

[<ABX]

<xi:include xpointer="xmlns(xi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude)xpointer(/page/header)"
parse="xml"/>

Is this right? im not sure and i cant test it right now?

I read the XPointer Scheme and am still not understanding how i can make this do what i want it do to.

Could you possibly give me an example that would include the header element from page.xml?

[CornedBee]

<xi:include xpointer="xpointer(/page/header)" parse="xml"/>

You only need the xmlns thing when you actually use namespaces.

Ahh... Thanks

Hopfully this will work now...

Tried this last night. Didnt work nomatter what variations i tried and then i started looking through the documentation and saw that they used:

<xi:include href="Page.xml#xpointer(/page/header)" parse="xml"/>

cant figure out why using the xpointer attribute doesnt work but this does.

Perhaps your XInclude engine is faulty.

Good to hear that it works, anyway.
