hi,
you can always store the intermediate result in an xml document.
the following code snippet does this.
public void problem1()

{

XslCompiledTransform transform = new XslCompiledTransform();

transform.Load("xslt1.xslt");

transform.Transform("xml1.xml", "xml2.xml");

transform.Load("xslt2.xslt");

transform.Transform("xml2.xml","output.xml");

}

In this case, the strings are file names with their paths.

hope this helps,

swapna
