In that context is that? The XslTransform object is intentionally thread 
safe for transform operations so within ASP.NET for instance you are 
supposed to create one single instance and load your stylesheet and 
store the instance in the Application context and then any ASP.NET page 
being executed in that application can call the Transform method of that 
single instance.

That is a way in which .NET allows you to do the load only once, then 
store the object and reuse it any time you need to do a transform.

I don't know of any way to serialize some kind of conglomerated 
stylesheet to reload it later.
