Microsoft's .Net XML 'System.Xml.Xsl.XslTransform' and Scripting

2003-01-14 11:20:59
Has anyone been able to get the above .Net assembly to work with XSL that
contains script.  In the past I have been able to embed VB & Java Script in
a CDATA section in the XSL file and have it work fine using MSXML.  Does
anyone know if this still works and if so how?  I have not been able to get
it to work with the following example.

<!-- Source file -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
  <row theDate="2003-01-14"/>
</root>

<!-- Transform file -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform' 
xmlns:msxsl='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt' 
xmlns:var='urn:var' 
xmlns:user='urn:user' 
exclude-result-prefixes='msxsl var user'
version='1.0'>
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="utf-8"/>
  <xsl:template match="root">
    <html>
      <head>
        <title></title>
      </head>
      <body>
        <xsl:variable name="myDate" select="row/@theDate"/>
        The date is 
        <xsl:value-of select="$myDate"/><br/>
        
        <xsl:variable name='var:addDate' select='user:mydateadd("d", "15",
string($myDate))'/>
        Add 15 days to that date = 
        <xsl:value-of select="$var:addDate"/><br/>        
      </body>
    </html>
  </xsl:template>
  
  <!-- VB Script function to add to the date -->
  <msxsl:script language='VBScript' implements-prefix='user'>
        <![CDATA[
        Function MyDateAdd(Interval, Number, TheDate)
  
                Dim sumDate
                Dim myDate(2)
                
                sumDate = DateAdd(CStr(Interval), CDbl(Number),
CDate(TheDate))
                
                ' necessary to do some string manipulation because the
DateAdd func returns wrong format
                myDate(0) = DatePart("yyyy", CDate(sumDate))
                myDate(1) = DatePart("m", CDate(sumDate))
                If Len(myDate(1)) = 1 Then myDate(1) = "0" & myDate(1)
                myDate(2) = DatePart("d", CDate(sumDate))
                If Len(myDate(2)) = 1 Then myDate(2) = "0" & myDate(2)
                MyDateAdd = Join(myDate, "-")
                
        End Function
        ]]>
  </msxsl:script>
        
</xsl:stylesheet>

As I said this works fine when using MSXML.  However when using
'System.Xml.Xsl.XslTransform' an exception is thrown when you load the
transform document.  
Is this functionality no longer supported in the
'System.Xml.Xsl.XslTransform' assembly?
