transformNodeToObject Method

Processes this node and its children using the supplied Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) style sheet and returns the resulting transformation.

oXMLDOMNode.transformNodeToObject(stylesheet, outputObject);

HRESULT transformNodeToObject(
  IXMLDOMNode* stylesheet,
  VARIANT outputObject
);

General Remarks

This method is only valid if the XSLT feature has been included in the operating system (OS). If a call to this method is made and XSLT is not supported, an error message will be returned.

The stylesheet parameter must be either a DOMDocument node, in which case the document is assumed to be an XSLT style sheet, or a Document Object Model (DOM) node in the XSLT style sheet, in which case this node is treated as a stand-alone style sheet fragment.

The source node defines a context in which the style sheet operates, but navigation outside this scope is allowed. For example, a style sheet can use the id function to access other parts of the document.

This method supports both stand-alone and embedded style sheets and also provides the ability to run a localized style sheet fragment against a particular source node.

The transformNodeToObject method always generates a Unicode byte-order mark, which means it cannot be used in conjunction with other Active Server Pages (ASP) Response.Write or Response.BinaryWrite calls.

This member is an extension of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) DOM.

This method applies to the following objects and interfaces:

IXMLDOMAttribute, IXMLDOMCDATASection, IXMLDOMCharacterData, IXMLDOMComment, DOMDocument, IXMLDOMDocumentFragment, IXMLDOMDocumentType, IXMLDOMElement, IXMLDOMEntity, IXMLDOMEntityReference, IXMLDOMNode, IXMLDOMNotation, IXMLDOMProcessingInstruction, IXMLDOMText, IXTLRuntime.
