I've written a simple Employee class that I'm trying to serialize to an XDocument and then use XSLT to transform the document to a page that displays both the properties (Name and ID) from the Employee class, and an html form with 2 radio buttons (Approve and Reject) and a submit button. Here is the Employee class:
[Serializable, DataContract(Namespace="XSLT_MVC.Controllers/")]
public class Employee
{
[DataMember]
public string Name { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public int ID { get; set; }
public Employee()
{
}
public Employee(string name, int id)
{
Name = name;
ID = id;
}
public XDocument GetDoc()
{
XDocument doc = new XDocument();
var serializer = new DataContractSerializer(typeof(Employee));
using (var writer = doc.CreateWriter())
{
serializer.WriteObject(writer, this);
writer.Close();
}
return doc;
}
}
And here is the XSLT file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:value-of select="Employee/Name"/>
<br />
<xsl:value-of select="Employee/ID"/>
<br />
<form method="post" action="/Home/ProcessRequest?id={Employee/ID}">
<input id="Action" name="Action" type="radio" value="Approved"></input> Approved <br />
<input id="Action" name="Action" type="radio" value="Rejected"></input> Rejected <br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit"></input>
</form>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When I run this, all I get is the html form with the 2 radio buttons and the submit button, but not the properties from the Employee class. I saw a separate StackOverflow post that said I need to change the
<xsl:template match="/">
to match on the namespace of my Employee class like this:
<xsl:template match="/XSLT_MVC.Controllers">
but when I do that, now all I get are the Employee properties, and not the html form with the 2 radio buttons and the submit button. Does anyone know what needs to be done so that my transform will select and display both the Employee properties and the html form?
