Duplicating main node

Hi Experts,

I am working on ASP.net 2.0 using C#

My xslt is producing root node (<articles>) again and again with each match result

Please find my xslt, xml, output below

XSLT:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    version="1.0" >
  <xsl:output indent="yes"/>
  <xsl:param name="LibraryCategory">Our Services</xsl:param>

  <xsl:template match="Image">
    <articles>
      <xsl:if test="@CategoryName=$LibraryCategory">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="pagination" />
      </xsl:if>
    </articles>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="Image" mode="pagination">
    <article>
      <a href="/english/media/media-library/images/image01.aspx" data-lightbox="/english/media/media-library/images/image01.aspx?html=fragment">
        <img src="/images/media/image_thumbnail01.jpg" alt="" >
          <xsl:attribute name="src">
            <xsl:value-of select="PreviewImg"/>
          </xsl:attribute>
        </img>
      </a>
    </article>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

<xsl:template match="Image">
    <articles>
      <xsl:if test="@CategoryName=$LibraryCategory">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="pagination" />
      </xsl:if>
    </articles>
  </xsl:template>

Open in new window

should be

  <xsl:template match="ImagesLibrary ">
    <articles>
        <xsl:apply-templates />
    </articles>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="Image">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="self::*[="@CategoryName=$LibraryCategory]" mode="pagination" />
  </xsl:template>

this way you create the articles node one level higher

but your full xslt looks nicer like this (no duplicate processing but precise selection

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    version="1.0" >
    <xsl:output indent="yes"/>
    <xsl:param name="LibraryCategory">Our Services</xsl:param>
    
    <xsl:template match="ImagesLibrary">
        <articles>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="Image[@CategoryName=$LibraryCategory]"/>
        </articles>
    </xsl:template>
    
    <xsl:template match="Image">
        <article>
            <a href="/english/media/media-library/images/image01.aspx" data-lightbox="/english/media/media-library/images/image01.aspx?html=fragment">
                <img src="/images/media/image_thumbnail01.jpg" alt="" >
                    <xsl:attribute name="src">
                        <xsl:value-of select="PreviewImg"/>
                    </xsl:attribute>
                </img>
            </a>
        </article>
    </xsl:template>
    
</xsl:stylesheet>

changing the output line in the xslt to omit the declaration will get rid of teh declaration

<xsl:output indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

but I assume your C# will ignore the serialisation settings.
If the above does not work, please show us the transforming C#

Many Thanks for your replies

Can I remove the line below from my output
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Also, can I add condition here saying if
value of parameter is 'All' or '' then give results from all image nodes

somethhing like
<xsl:apply-templates select="Image"/>

if parameter LibraryCategory has the value other than 'All' or ''
then give results from
<xsl:apply-templates select="Image[@CategoryName=$LibraryCategory]"/>

Thanks again
