XML Transform

I am using Asp.Net and wondered if the TransformNode is outdated to use??

This may sound pretty silly but can someone tell me why I receive this error message:
BC30456: 'transformNode' is not a member of 'System.Xml.XmlDocument'.

from this line of coding:

response.write(xmlDoc.transformNode(xsl))

thanks!

I got it! Here's the solution! Yahoo!

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<%@ import Namespace="System.Xml" %>
<%@ import Namespace="System.Xml.Xsl" %>
<script runat="server">

Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Dim objDoc As XmlDocument = New XmlDocument()
Dim objTrans As XslTransform = new XslTransform()

objDoc.Load(Server.MapPath("test.xml"))

objTrans.Load(Server.MapPath("test.xsl"))

xml1.Document = objDoc
xml1.Transform = objTrans
End Sub

</script>

I am awarding you points for taking the time to response and so forth - :-)

In your other example you just tried to set the xml document to the control when it should have been the other way around..

dim myXmlDocument as New XMLDocument()
myXmlDocument = Xml1.Document

should be

dim myXmlDocument as New XMLDocument()
Xml1.Document = myXmlDocument

But im glad you got it fixed thats all that matters.
