stylesheet Property (IXSLTemplate)

Returns the Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) style sheet to compile into an XSL template.

Script Syntax

var objXMLDOMNode = objXSLTemplate.stylesheet;  
objXSLTemplate.stylesheet = objXMLDOMNode;  

Example

var xslt = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XSLTemplate.3.0");
var xslDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.3.0");
var xslProc;
xslDoc.async = false;
xslDoc.load("sample2.xsl");
if (xslDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0) {
   var myErr = xslDoc.parseError;
   WScript.Echo("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
   xslt.stylesheet = xslDoc;
   WScript.Echo(xslt.stylesheet.xml);
}

Visual Basic Syntax

Set objXMLDOMNode = objXSLTemplate.stylesheet  
objXSLTemplate.stylesheet = objXMLDOMNode  

Resource File

The Jscript example uses the following file.

Sample2.xsl

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
   <xsl:output method="html"/>
   <xsl:param name="param1"/>
  <xsl:template match="/">
      Hello
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="/" mode="edit">
      In Edit Mode
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="/" mode="view">
      In View Mode
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

C/C++ Syntax

HRESULT get_stylesheet(IXMLDOMNode** stylesheet);  
HRESULT putref_stylesheet(IXMLDOMNode* stylesheet);  

Parameters

stylesheet[out, retval][in]
The node that represents an XSL Transformations (XSLT) style sheet. This must be a free-threaded document object.

C/C++ Return Values

E_FAIL
The value returned if the document is not a valid style sheet or if the document is not free-threaded.

Remarks

The style sheet document is made read-only while the style sheet belongs to the template or any associated processor. The read-only flag is removed when the style sheet is released from all templates and processors.

Because the processors created by this template take a snapshot of the current style sheet and always use it, they are not affected by changes to this stylesheet property. The only way to update the processor to the new style sheet is to create a new processor.
