Displaying a C# control through XSLT

Question

Is there a way to display a C# control through XSLT?

I'm trying a lot to handle this but am not able to pass the values to the control.

Below is the sample which am trying to render it out..

<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;Control:Content runat="server" contenttype="&lt;xsl:value-of select="subnode/text()"/&gt;" /&gt;</xsl:text>

Here control should generate as shown: For the param "contenttype" value should pass dynamically...

<Control:Content runat="server" contenttype="ABC123" />

Please help me.

Good question, +1. Remember that DOE is almost never necessary and should be avoided whenever possible, as it breaks the XSLT architectural model. — Dimitre Novatchev

What are you going to do with the result of the transformation? — Rune FS

You don't need (and it is always a good idea to avoid using) DOE for this.

Here is a neat solution, just using <xsl:output method="text">:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 <xsl:output method="text"/>

 <xsl:template match="/*">
  <xsl:text>&lt;Control:Content runat="server" contenttype="</xsl:text>
  <xsl:value-of select="/subnode"/>
  <xsl:text>" /&gt;</xsl:text>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

when this transformation is applied on this XML document:

<subnode>html</subnode>

the wanted, correct output is produced:

<Control:Content runat="server" contenttype="html" />

We're using this technique at work, however, we convert the control to xml first then we use xslt to render it in the page.

Thanks for the reply. In my scenario, it won't works this way. Since content is already published to XML & this can't be handled at this point. So while XML is rendering then i should handle that by passing the value to the control & display on the page.
