Re: Problem with obtaining distinct values from a variable containg a nodeset

2005-11-29 14:33:10
Are the MDBServiceDesc elements siblings (In the original document?)
if not, they presumavly are not siblings in $services either (depending
on whether  System.Xml.XPath.XPathNodeIterator is making copies of teh
selected nodes, or just indexing into the existing tree.

try adding  xsl:value-of select="generate-id(..)" somewhere in that
for-each loop (just as a debugging tool, if you get different ids they
elements have differnt parents so are not siblings

Following up. David was correct in that the .NET architecture was not
providing your typical nodeset to the 
XSLT. The System.Xml.XPath.XPathNodeIterator was essentially providing a
"windowPane" view of the original document 
through the $services parameter. Using the generate-id() showed
this.(Not explicitly mentioned on MSDN that I could find).

Changing preceding-sibling() to preceding() solved the problem.Thanks
for pointing me in the right direction on this one
David.
