#5 randomizeList hangs system when using XslTransform in .Net

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have a VB.Net component that uses the XslTransform
object. I am using the FXSL randomizeList function in
my XSL template. When I transform the XML in the
VB.Net component, my system hangs. When I load the
XML in a browser with a reference to the XSL
template, it works fine.

Here is my XML:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<Lists>
<List><Item>Item 1</Item></List>
<List><Item>Item 2</Item></List>
<List><Item>Item 3</Item></List>
<List><Item>Item 4</Item></List>
<List><Item>Item 5</Item></List>
<List><Item>Item 6</Item></List>
<List><Item>Item 7</Item></List>
</Lists>

Here is my XSL:
<xsl:stylesheet version = "1.0"

xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
exclude-result-prefixes = "xsl" >

<xsl:import href = "randomList.xsl" />

<xsl:output method = "html" />

<xsl:template match = "/" >
<xsl:variable name="vRandFunc">
<xsl:call-template
name="randomizeList">
<xsl:with-param
name="pList" select="/Lists/List/Item" />
<xsl:with-param
name="pSeed" select="32768" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>

<table>
<xsl:for-each select="msxsl:node-set
($vRandFunc)/*">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="." /></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Here is my VB.Net code snippet:
' Create the XslTransform and load the stylesheet.
Dim xslt As XslTransform = New XslTransform
xslt.Load(sXslTemplateFile)

' Create an XsltArgumentList.
Dim xslArg As XsltArgumentList = New
XsltArgumentList
' Add parameters
xslArg.AddParam("firstelement", "",
iElement.ToString())
xslArg.AddParam("elementsperpage", "",
m_iElementsPerPage.ToString())

'Create an XmlTextWriter to handle the output, but
put it in a string.
Dim sb As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder
Dim sw As StringWriter = New StringWriter(sb)
Dim xw As XmlTextWriter = New XmlTextWriter(sw)

'Transform the file.
xslt.Transform(m_xmlDom.CreateNavigator(), xslArg,
xw, Nothing)
'Get the output
RenderPage = sb.ToString()

When I execute this code, my system hangs and I
cannot kill the application, which is a browser in
this case. I load my .Net component as an object in
an HTML page in a browser, and inject the results in
RenderPage to a div tag.

All of my other XSL templates work, but they are not
using the FXSL randomizeList function.

Anyone have any ideas, alternatives, etc.?

This has nothing to do with FXSl and reflects an issue
with .NET 1.1 XslTransform.

Nevertheless, I have asked Helgy to investigate.
