How to use in VB.NET?

(I also posted this msg on saxon-help, before noticing that HELP seems to have more traffic... ) Yesterday I downloaded and installed Saxon on a Windows XP box with .NET Framework 1.1. The command line version works fine. I added the saxon8api.dll to the references of a vb.net solution and have access to the Saxon classes, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to use them. My download does not have the cs/samples directory that is referenced in the documentation. Can anyone supply info or examples on using Saxon in either vb.net or c#.net? I'm trying to use the XSLT Transform. Thanks / Dan

The samples directory is in the resources.zip file which you can find at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/saxon/saxon-resources8-7-1.zip?download It's only C# I'm afraid - if anyone would like to offer equivalents in VB.NET I'll be pleased to take them on board. The resources file also includes a local copy of the API documentation to be found at http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/dotnetdoc/index.html Michael Kay

Thanks. I had downloaded the resources8-7-1.zip file, but it doesn't seem to have the C# samples. I downloaded again, but still no luck. Here's what I've been trying in vb.net Dim saxonP As New Saxon.Api.Processor Dim c As Saxon.Api.XsltCompiler Dim x As Saxon.Api.XsltExecutable Dim d As Saxon.Api.XmlDestination Dim t As Saxon.Api.XsltTransformer c = saxonP.NewXsltCompiler() x = c.Compile(New FileStream("d:/saxonica/CDATranslation.xsl", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)) t = x.Load() t.Run(d) This crashes on the x = c.Compile... line due to a null object reference. Also, it's not clear how to specify the input XML file to be transformed. Finally, how do I convert d, a Saxon.Api.XmlDestination, to something more familiar in .NET? I don't need it in vb.NET, C# examples would be fine. Thanks / Dan

I've been looking for cs samples too and couldn't find them. They appear to be missing in saxon-resources8-7-1.zip. I downloaded saxon-resources8-7.zip, and found a samples/cs directory in there.

Yes, I'd just about got that far in my investigations too. There seems to have been a build error in constructing the 8.7.1 version of the file. Sorry about that. Don: if I'm not mistaken you sent off for a Saxon-SA evaluation license earlier today. The email containing the license bounced saying the email address was unknown. Please drop me a note (mike at saxonica.com) with your correct email address.

Per Don's response, I got the 8.7 resource file. Using the C# examples, I was able to get it working in vb.net with no problems. Thanks.
