Remarks
When using the Xml control to display an XML document, you can optionally specify an Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) style sheet that formats the XML document, before it is written to the output stream in one of two ways. You can format the XML document with either a System.Xml.Xsl.XslTransform object or an XSL Transformation style sheet file. If no XSL Transform document is specified, the XML document is displayed using the default format. The Transform property is used to specify a System.Xml.Xsl.XslTransform object (representing an XSL Transform document) used to format the XML document before it is written to the output stream.
Note
Using a System.Xml.Xsl.XslTransform object requires Full Trust
permissions.
