We are using C# code generated from XML schema. And while it was very simple to add reference to an XML schema by calling SetSchemaLocation on the document object, I cannot figure out how to add a reference to XSL.
I'm trying to produce a document with the following header:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="LangMaster.xsl"?>
<LangMaster xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="LangMaster.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
Please, help me - how do I add that XSL reference using generated C# library?

Hi Vitaly,
to do this you can access the DOM directly, for example if I generate code based upon a schema "test.xsd":
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- edited with XMLSpy v2009 (https://www.altova.com) by chris luntzer (ASC X12) -->
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
<xs:element name="a">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="b" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
the code to generate a processing instruction would be the following:
test.test2 doc = test.test2.CreateDocument();
test.aType root = doc.a.Append();
root.Node.OwnerDocument.InsertBefore(root.Node.OwnerDocument.CreateProcessingInstruction("xml-stylesheet", "LangMaster.xsl"), root.Node);
doc.SaveToFile("test1.xml", true);

Thank you, island.
However, your code example produces the following instruction:
<?xml-stylesheet LangMaster.xsl?>
while I wanted precisely:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="LangMaster.xsl"?>
What else do I need to do to achieve the desired results?

Ok,
After a long try an error, I found a way to make it work:
XmlProcessingInstruction ins = root.Node.OwnerDocument.CreateProcessingInstruction("xml-stylesheet", "");
ins.InnerText = "type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"LangMaster.xsl\" ";
XmlNode node = root.Node.OwnerDocument.InsertBefore(ins, root.Node);
I don't know how valid this operation is, but it works for me, creating the following node:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="LangMaster.xsl"?>
Is there a better (more elegant) way of doing this? 'Cos this one seems a bit of hacking...
