XSL Tranform error in C#, working in IE (error {"Objects of type 'Script2' do not have such a member"})

Question

Hi folk,

I have an issue with the applying an xsl transformation to an xml in C#. The transformation is working well in IE 8.

Here is the code I have:

XslCompiledTransform transform = new XslCompiledTransform();
XsltSettings xslt_set = new XsltSettings();
xslt_set.EnableScript = true;
XmlReader myreader = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(File.ReadAllText(<path to xsl>)));
transform.Load(myreader, xslt_set, new XmlUrlResolver());
XmlReader xr = XmlReader.Create(@"C:\TE Connectivity\Inbound\Cables\170-1951-xx\TDR\TDR_Report[2 29 51 PM][8 16 2012].xml");
StringBuilder htmlContent = new StringBuilder();
XmlWriter result = XmlWriter.Create(htmlContent);
transform.Transform(xr, result);

and the error I get is:

{"Objects of type 'Script2' do not have such a member"}

that comes from this section of the xsl file:

 function GraphArray(sLBound, sHBound)
 {
  this.LBoundElements = (sLBound.substring(1).replace(/]/g,"")).split("[");  //error comes here
  this.HBoundElements = sHBound.substring(1).replace(/]/g,"").split("[");
  this.Dimensions = sLBound.split("[").length - 1;
... 
}

I didn't write the script and I'm not very familiar with xsl, but what bugs me it that it works with IE.

I read somewhere that IE uses MSXML 3.0 to do transform, so could it be a change in MSXML 6.0 that makes that xsl not compliant anymore? if so, is there a way to make it compliant or is ther a way in C# to make the same transform as IE does?

Thanks for your help

Ok, at least I found a work around.

I'm using the MSXML 3.0 activeX to transform my xml (as IE does I think) and that works.
