To format the XSLT, you can do the following:
1. Manually make the changes in the XSLT document. See the resultant changes. Cost $0.
2. Use XmlSpy. Cost $$$
OR
3. Use Xselerator (found in www.topxml.com)
I just do it manually but then again I am used to the XSLT syntax.
1. The setting up of the Xml Control in the ASP.NET Page with the proper settings is all that is needed for the display of the transformation.
2. An ASP.NET Panel merely outputs as a DIV element on the browser. To use the XmlControl inside the Panel at design time:
<asp:Panel Id="MyPanel" runat="server">
<asp:Xml Id="MyXml" runat="server" />
</asp:Panel>
3. To format your report, you will need to know the XSLT syntax. You can learn some of it from www.w3schools.com as well as www.topxml.com
4. Do not expect to be able to master every technique of transformations overnight. That is something that will remain an ongoing task.

i wish to display and format a report based on values inside .xml and .xsl

Your question indicates some confusion about XML and XSLT documents. XML documents hold data preferably in a hierarchical structure. XSLT documents hold the styling rules: they handle the presentation rules. If you are talking about formatting a report using transformations (as the Xml control does it discretely), then you must be able to code the XSLT document either manually (not recommended) or with the use of 3rd Party software (recommended).
In order for you to have an idea about how this all works, you will need to provide a very small snippet of XML and your expected result/display after a transformation. There's only so much this medium can provide. A lot depends on you reading up =)

to use the xml control:
Path: Xml/data.xml
==============
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<root>Hello World!</root>
Path: Xml/data.xslt
=================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.o
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="utf-8" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
C# ASP.NET
========
<%@Page Language="C#"%>
<script language="C#" runat="server">
void Page_Load(object sender,EventArgs e)
{
this.MyXmlControl.Document
this.MyXmlControl.Transfor
}
</script>
<asp:Xml ID="MyXmlControl" runat="server" />
VB.NET ASP.NET
============
<%@Page Language="VB"%>
<script language="vb" runat="server">
Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender AS Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
With MyXmlControl
.DocumentSource = "Xml/data.xml"
.TransformSource = "Xml/data.xslt"
End With
End Sub
</script>
<asp:Xml ID="MyXmlControl" runat="server" />
Output in both cases
==============
Hello World!
Notes
=====
1. The DocumentSource property will accept virtual paths. The same applies to the TransformSource. If you want to pass an XmlDocument instead of just a string value denoting the path, you use the Document property like so:
C# and ASP.NET
===========
<%@Page Language="C#"%>
<%@Import Namespace="System.Xml"%>
<script language="C#" runat="server">
void Page_Load(object sender,EventArgs e)
{
XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument();
document.LoadXml("<root>He
this.MyXmlControl.Document
this.MyXmlControl.Transfor
}
</script>
<asp:Xml ID="MyXmlControl" runat="server" />
VB.NET and ASP.NET
==============
<%@Page Language="VB"%>
<%@Import Namespace="System.Xml"%>
<script language="vb" runat="server">
Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender AS Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim document As New XmlDocument
document.LoadXml("<root>He
With MyXmlControl
.Document = document
.TransformSource = "Xml/data.xslt"
End With
End Sub
</script>
<asp:Xml ID="MyXmlControl" runat="server" />
2. The question of using XSLT documents to style the output is something you will have to learn outside of EE per se. There's just too much information plus the fact that you now have version 2.0 floating around.
Final Note:
=========
The more general your question is, the more general the answer will be.
Cheers,
Brandon
