Transforming large Xml files
- by Chad
I was using this extension method to transform very large xml files with an xslt.
Unfortunately, I get an OutOfMemoryException on the source.ToString() line.
I realize there must be a better way, I'm just not sure what that would be?
public static XElement Transform(this XElement source, string xslPath, XsltArgumentList arguments)
{
var doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(source.ToString());
var xsl = new XslCompiledTransform();
xsl.Load(xslPath);
using (var swDocument = new StringWriter(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture))
{
using (var xtw = new XmlTextWriter(swDocument))
{
xsl.Transform((doc.CreateNavigator()), arguments, xtw);
xtw.Flush();
return XElement.Parse(swDocument.ToString());
}
}
}
Thoughts? Solutions? Etc.
