Hello,
I need some advice in choosing appropriate xslt processor to include to my
AHFormatter (http://www.antennahouse.com/).
I have to do some crazy stuff with images and there's no way to do it in xslt
so I have to implement a function in C# to do these.
The problem is that my Formatter has MSXSL 3.0 included, and this xslt engine
supports only scripts in JScript or VBScript and those don't offer me necessary
functions.
In C# and .NET I got some Image libraries that would do the job. The problem is
that I actually don't know what other xslt engine should I use.
Do you have any advice on what version of Saxon would interpret C# code ? If u
do I would appreciate some information about using this function, how to write
the code inside the stylesheet, and which version of .NET is available.
any help appreciated
Saxon on .NET can call out to functions written in C#: information on
how to do this is here:
http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/extensibility/intro.xml
You don't write the C# code inside your stylesheet; you write it
separately, and link to it from your stylesheet code. And Saxon doesn't
interpret it, it simply calls it. We haven't had any reports of any
restrictions affecting which versions of .NET you can use.
Getting "reflexive" extension functions to work under .NET (which
requires dynamic loading of assemblies) can be tricky, and I would
recommend using "integrated" extension functions instead. There are
examples in the saxon-resources download file.
