Hi Andrew,
Examples are almost non-existant and their mailing
list has been completely unresponsive.
Which list are you sending messages to? I've tried to get the word
out that the official support list for Saxon.NET is
'saxondotnet-help'. Unfortunately not everyone reads the blog entries
on the project weblog (http://weblog.saxondotnet.org) and because I am
slammed at the moment working on a project that has my time booked
until the end of the month I havent had a chance to get the word out.
Unfortunately for some reason SF.net doesnt allow you to delete
mailing lists. As such there are several lists there that are
inactive.
As I mentioned my time is limited at the moment, but if you can post a
message to the saxondotnet-help list I will take a look at this as
soon as I have a chance and respond back via that mechanism.
If there are others who have similar needs please visit >
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/saxondotnet-help
Actually, in checking the archives I'm noticing a post from you
(Andrew) from the 29th of July to saxondotnet-help. This is the first
I've seen this... That worries me. I will check and make sure there
isn't an error in the list-admin email address. If you could post
your message again I can use this as a test. If you don't get a
response within 12 hours or so then send a message directly to me and
I will get to the bottom of the problem.
Please note also that as per my last post to the project weblog >
http://weblog.saxondotnet.org/archives/2005/08/saxonnet_85_rc1_1.html
you can gain access to the Saxon.NET 8.5 bits via CVS. I haven't had
the time necessary to run this release through the proper set of tests
and as such have not packaged it as an official release. However, it
may be worth your while to checkout the Saxon.NET-Latest module from
the CVS repository on SF >
https://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=112449
While there is no guarantee this will solve your problem it might be
worth the effort to give it a try.
See ya over on saxondotnet-help (hopefully :)
Cheers :)

Thanks very much Dr. Kay. As I need to evaluate the

using net.sf.saxon.om;
using javax.xml.parsers;
using javax.xml.transform.dom;
using org.w3c.dom;

dqc.setContextNode(di);
java.util.List result = xe.evaluate(dqc);
but received the all-too familiar :
System.TypeLoadException was unhandled
Message="Method

StackTrace:

I receive this exception quite often in my attempts to
use Saxon.NET. Their mailing list has proven
unresponsive.
If anyone out there is experienced with Saxon.NET and
has suggestions, or anyone has any alternative
suggestions (other than Saxon.NET) to evaluate
"format-date(<myxpath>, '[M]-[D]-[Y]')" against a DOM
in memory from within my Dotnet application, I would
be very much appreciative.
Thanks again,

Subject: RE: [xsl] Evaluating XSLT2 from code
Saxon provides a mirror of the XSLT format-date()
function in the Saxon
namespace for use in XQuery, so
declare namespace saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/";;
saxon:format-date(....)
is a valid query and can be executed against a DOM
using the Saxon XQuery API.

Subject: [xsl] Evaluating XSLT2 from code
I would like to be able to evaluate XSLT2
expressions
against a DOM from within Dotnet. I say XSLT2
nstead
of XPATH2 because I need to be able to use the new
format-date function available in XSLT2 (not part
of
the XPath spec). I have evaluated other date
formatting approaches in XSLT1 and find them to be
insufficient for what I need to do.
Currently I am going through the painstaking
process
of wrapping the expression in an XSLT2 stylesheet,
saving that stylesheet out to disk, and then
executing
Saxon8 as a separate command-line process and
redicting the standard output of that process to my
Dotnet program. Surely there must be a better way.
I have taken a look at Saxon.NET and find it to be
a
great idea but can't get even the simplest of
in-memory transformations to work with a DOM.
Examples are almost non-existant and their mailing
list has been completely unresponsive.
So to simplify, I would like to evaluate
"format-date(/sample/path/@date, '[M]-[D]-[Y]')"
against a DOM from within my Dotnet application.
Any
ideas at all would be much appreciated. Thanks in
advance,
