Signs on the Sand: nXSLTC - an experimental XSLT compiler for .NET 3.5

Wow, das ist echt mal eine tolle Sache:

So here is nXSLTC.exe v1.0b - an experimental XSLT compiler for .NET 3.5 (Visual Studio 'Orcas'). Get it here (free open-source). I probably shouldn't be building this tool, but I have my reasons.

Why not? As a matter of fact, Mike Champion has announced back in February that Microsoft will provide XSLTC.exe tool in the next Visual Studio 'Orcas', but apparently it didn't make it into March CTP, at least I didn't manage to find it. It probably will be included into the next drop.

Why yes? First - this is the best way of learning new technology and then - I plan to build something bigger, which Microsoft won't be doing - XSLT project for Visual Studio, so I need this code anyway.

Ok, so nXSLT.exe. It's a command line XSLT compiler for .NET 3.5. It compiles one or more XSLT stylesheets into DLL. These compiled stylesheets can be later used to transform XML documents using
XslCompiledTransform class.

Hoffentlich gibt's das bald auch für XSLT 2.0!
