Is dynamic evaluation of xpath variable string possible using .net 2.0 xslt implementation?
- by Crocked
Hi,
I'm trying to evaluate an xpath varable I'm building dynamically based on the position of the node.
I can create the xpath string in a variable but when I select the value of this just get the string and not the node set I need.
I use the following to create the xpath
<xsl:variable name="xpathstring" select="normalize-space(concat("//anAttribute[@key='pos",position(),"']"))"/>
and try to output the value with the following.
<xsl:value-of select="$xpathstring"/>
If I execute the xpath in my debugger I get the nodeset but in my xml output only get the xpath string which looks like this //anAttribute[@key='pos1']
I had a look at exslt dyn:evaluate which seems to enable this but this seems to be only supported by certain processors and doesn't provide a standalone implementation or at least as far as I could see (currently using the standard .net 2.0 xslt whihc is only xslt 1.0 as far as I recall)
Is there anyway to handle this without changing processor?
Kind Regards,
Crocked
