This control takes both an XML data source and an XML Style
Sheet Language Transformations (XSLT) style sheet to generate the final HTML output. An
XSLT style sheet can be brought to bear as an alternate UI generation paradigm that separates
the display of data from its source in a similar fashion to what we accomplished with templates
and data binding in the previous list controls demonstration.
An XML Control and XSLT Demonstration
The XML control web form generates an HTML table similar to the list controls demonstration,
using the same data source and the native XML support available in ADO.NET. Listings 1-13
and 1-14 provide the source code for our demonstration. Listing 1-13 presents the XML control
web form??™s ApressBooks.xslt file, and Listing 1-14 shows the code-behind file.
