I can't speak for ASP.NET 2.0, but the current version of ASP.NET 1.1 does
not allow you to specify server controls inside of an XSL file.
One option for you would be to create a kind of pre-processor page that
would perform the XSL transformation, but instead of sending HTML to the
client, you would generate an ASPX web page instead - this ASPX page would
have server controls. Your pre-processor page could then redirect the
browser to the newly generated ASPX page.
Consequences:
1) You would not be able to use the "code-behind" feature since your ASPX
pages are generated
2) You would pay a performance cost for the pre-processing
