dotnet xml: When I transform XML, XSLT automatically adds extra attributes to the
node which are declared in DTD (default DTD attributes) . I just want
XSLT not to add these extra default attributes from DTD.

See refname and shortname attributes are added to node automatically
after transformation.

Please let me know how to fix this.

Then you have to remove the document type declaration or otherwise
instruct your transformation engine and/or parser to not read the
external subset. There is no way to achieve this using only XSLT.

Thank you for the reply Bjoern Hoehrmann

I am using following VB.NET code for transformation. Please tell me
where I can set flag for not to resolve externals.

Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)
Dim xmlInputFile As String =3D args(0)
Dim xslInputFile As String =3D args(1)
Const xmlOutputFile As String =3D "output.xml"

Dim xPathDoc As New XPathDocument(xmlInputFile)
Dim transform As New XslCompiledTransform()
Dim results As Stream =3D Nothing

Try
results =3D File.Create(xmlOutputFile)

Dim argsList As New XsltArgumentList()
Dim dateAndTime As New MyDateTime()
argsList.AddExtensionObject("urn:MyDateTime", dateAndTime)

transform.Load(xslInputFile)
transform.Transform(xPathDoc, argsList, results)

Catch ex As Exception
results.Flush()
Console.WriteLine(ex)
Finally
results.Close()
End Try
End Sub

I do not have control to that DTD. It is managed by one organization
for Book industry.

Or change the DTD so that those attributes become optional instead of
compulsory.

You can disable to DTD from loading if you set the XmlResolver to null. To do
so you will need to load the XPathDocument from a reader:

Dim reader As New XmlTextReader(xmlInputFile)
reader.XmlResolver = null
Dim xPathDoc As New XPathDocument(reader)
