I have this code below, that works like a champ, but two lines are
continually marked as obsolete. See embeded notes.

Private Shared Function TransformHTMLString(ByVal XSLT As String, _
ByVal XHTML As String) _
As String
Dim xdoc As Xml.XmlDocument = New Xml.XmlDocument
xdoc.LoadXml(XHTML)

Dim xsDoc As Xml.XmlDocument = New XmlDocument
xsDoc.LoadXml(XSLT)

'Both lines that are marked as obsolete are tagged that way
'by VS.Net2003. It is because I am passing an XMLDocument
'rather than a resolver

Dim xformer As Xml.Xsl.XslTransform = New Xml.Xsl.XslTransform
xformer.Load(xsDoc) 'Marked as obsolete

Dim writer As StringWriter = New StringWriter
xformer.Transform(xdoc, Nothing, writer) 'Marked as obsolete

Dim rtf As String = writer.ToString()
writer.Close()
Return rtf
End Function

What is the non-obsolete way to do the same thing?

Thanks.
That was simple and seemed obvious. Just not clear in documentation to
me.

Any Ideas on why?

' pass Nothing for the XmlResolver and Evidence parameters
xformer.Load(xsDoc, Nothing, Nothing)

Found my own solution

1. change method from being shared to requiring instantiation
2. change: xformer.Load(xsDoc, Nothing, Nothing)
to: xformer.Load(xsDoc, Nothing, Me.GetType().Assembly.Evidence)

problem solved. What a pain in the butt. lol
