Hello,

I have a VB.Net component that uses the XslTransform object. I am using
the FXSL randomizeList function in my XSL template. When I transform
the XML in the VB.Net component, my system hangs. When I load the XML
in a browser with a reference to the XSL template, it works fine.

Here is my XML:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<Lists>
	<List><Item>Item 1</Item></List>
	<List><Item>Item 2</Item></List>
	<List><Item>Item 3</Item></List>
	<List><Item>Item 4</Item></List>
	<List><Item>Item 5</Item></List>
	<List><Item>Item 6</Item></List>
	<List><Item>Item 7</Item></List>
</Lists>

Here is my XSL:
<xsl:stylesheet version = "1.0"
       xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
       xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
       exclude-result-prefixes = "xsl" >

	<xsl:import href = "randomList.xsl" />

	<xsl:output method = "html" />

	<xsl:template match = "/" >
		<xsl:variable name="vRandFunc">
			<xsl:call-template name="randomizeList">
				<xsl:with-param name="pList" select="/Lists/List/Item" />
				<xsl:with-param name="pSeed" select="32768" />
			</xsl:call-template>
		</xsl:variable>

<table>
		<xsl:for-each select="msxsl:node-set($vRandFunc)/*">
	<tr>
		<td><xsl:value-of select="." /></td>
	</tr>
		</xsl:for-each>
</table>
	</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Here is my VB.Net code snippet:
                ' Create the XslTransform and load the stylesheet.
                Dim xslt As XslTransform = New XslTransform
                xslt.Load(sXslTemplateFile)

                ' Create an XsltArgumentList.
                Dim xslArg As XsltArgumentList = New XsltArgumentList
                ' Add parameters
                xslArg.AddParam("firstelement", "",
iElement.ToString())
                xslArg.AddParam("elementsperpage", "",
m_iElementsPerPage.ToString())

                'Create an XmlTextWriter to handle the output, but put
it in a string.
                Dim sb As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder
                Dim sw As StringWriter = New StringWriter(sb)
                Dim xw As XmlTextWriter = New XmlTextWriter(sw)

                'Transform the file.
                xslt.Transform(m_xmlDom.CreateNavigator(), xslArg, xw,
Nothing)
                'Get the output
                RenderPage = sb.ToString()

When I execute this code, my system hangs and I cannot kill the
application, which is a browser in this case. I load my .Net component
as an object in an HTML page in a browser, and inject the results in
RenderPage to a div tag.

All of my other XSL templates work, but they are not using the FXSL
randomizeList function.

Anyone have any ideas, alternatives, etc.?
