'ends-with' is XPath 2.0, therefore, for all practical purposes, you need an 
XSLT 2.0 processor. None of Microsoft's products support version 2.0.
You can either re-write your XSLT of use Saxon which has a free .NET 
version. You won't ,however, be able to debug in Visual Studio, you'll need 
to use something like Altova XMLSpy">XMLSpy.
