Does system.xml have any way to transofrm data with an xswl style sheet
using strings like MSXML2 does?

how to convert this to use System.XML so i do not depend on MSXML2 interop?

static public string XslTransform(string style, string strdata)
{
MSXML2.IXMLDOMDocument pDoc = new MSXML2.DOMDocumentClass();
pDoc.async = false;
pDoc.loadXML(strdata);
MSXML2.IXMLDOMDocument pTemplate = new MSXML2.DOMDocumentClass();
pTemplate.async = false;
pTemplate.loadXML(style);
strdata = pDoc.transformNode(pTemplate);
return strdata;
}

xswl style sheet? From the code it looks like you are doing XSL or XSLT
(pretty synonymous in .NET, although they DO mean different things
technically).

If so, the help file shows how to use a transform object to transform. You
can transform out to a file or to a stream object to output the
transformation as a string. I ahve an old sample (1.0) in the download file
for the "ADO.NET and XML: ASP.NET on the Edge" book. Go to
http://www.wiley.com/exras and find the book. The samples are in the last few
chapters and are in VB.NET, but you should be able to work with the concepts.
NOTE that 1.1 has changed this slightly, so look at the .NET Framework class
library reference for differences.
