Hi, why does with-param fail to send parameters to any templates in a
stylesheet that also accepts arguments from the ASP.NET XML control?

The argument from the XML control seems to be available to any template
in the stylesheet, even if a parameter for the argument is NOT coded
for a template call.

On the other hand, any parameters coded for a template call don't seem
to pass their values (the stylesheet doesn't crash - everything is
still rendered).

What am I doing wrong?


ASP.NET C# code that loads the xml control

xmlCtrl.TransformSource="template.xsl";
XsltArgumentList args1 = new XsltArgumentList();
args1.AddParam("listtype","","1");
xmlCtrl.TransformArgumentList=args1;
xmlCtrl.Document=xml;


where xml is:
<root>
	<listitem TYPE='1'>A1</listitem>
	<listitem TYPE='1'>A2</listitem>
	<listitem TYPE='2'>B1</listitem>
	<listitem TYPE='2'>B2</listitem>
	<listitem TYPE='3'>C1</listitem>
	<listitem TYPE='3'>C2</listitem>
</root>



and template.xsl is:
<xsl:stylesheet	version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >
<xsl:param name="listtype"/>
	<xsl:template match="/root">

		<SELECT>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="//listitem[@TYPE=$listtype]">
			<xsl:with-param name="anyvalue" select="string('A')"/>
		</xsl:apply-templates>
		</SELECT>
	</xsl:template>

	<xsl:template name="list" match="listitem">
		<xsl:param name="anyvalue" />
		<OPTION>
		(<xsl:value-of select="$anyvalue"/>)
		<xsl:value-of select="current()" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
		</OPTION>
	</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>



produces a select list with entries
()A1
()A2

when it should produce a select list with entries
(A)A1
(A)A2
