Re: Confirmimg - Bug in Accessing Global XSL Variables

I hate to say this, but I still think there is a problem here.
Possibly I am doing something wrong so not real confident at the
moment.

It appears that the global variable problem has been fixed in .NET 2.0
using the XslCompiledTransform Class.  However, what is not fixed is
the use of global templates.

There does not appear to be a problem if the global template is named
without a namespace, but as soon as you introduce a namespace, the
call fails.

There is not a problem if the template is defined in the immediate
imported base template, but when the defined template is 2 deep.

Good decision.

Apart form the new XslCompiledTransform class I'd recommend the new
VS2005 (Professional edition and higher) XML Editor and the XSLT
Debugger.
