copied!<p>XSLT extension methods must return a type that is supported within XSL transformations. The following table shows the W3C XPath types and their corresponging .NET type:</p> <pre> W3C XPath Type | Equivalent .NET Class (Type) ------------------------------------------------------ String | System.String Boolean | System.Boolean Number | System.Double Result Tree Fragment | System.Xml.XPath.XPathNavigator Node Set | System.Xml.XPath.XPathNodeIterator </pre> <p>The table is taken from the section <em>Mapping Types between XSLT and .NET</em> in this <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc302079.aspx" rel="noreferrer">MSDN Magazine article</a>.</p> <p>Instead of returning a <code>string[]</code> array you would have to return an <code>XPathNodeIterator</code> like it is done in the following example:</p> <pre><code><msxsl:script implements-prefix="extension" language="C#"> <![CDATA[ public XPathNodeIterator GetList(string str, string delimiter) { string[] items = str.Split(delimiter.ToCharArray(), StringSplitOptions.None); XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument(); doc.AppendChild(doc.CreateElement("root")); using (XmlWriter writer = doc.DocumentElement.CreateNavigator().AppendChild()) { foreach (string item in items) { writer.WriteElementString("item", item); } } return doc.DocumentElement.CreateNavigator().Select("item"); } ]]> </msxsl:script> </code></pre> <p>In your XSL transform you can then iterate over the elements in the returned node set using <code>xsl:for-each</code>:</p> <pre><code><xsl:template match="/"> <root> <xsl:for-each select="extension:GetList('one,two,three', ',')"> <value> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </value> </xsl:for-each> </root> </xsl:template> </code></pre>
