title: xslt.Load(New XmlTextReader(New StringReader(xslt))) "xslt compile error"
body: <p>I have read the other posts and they are not resolving my problem.
  The environment is VB 2008 (2.0 Framework)
  The below code cause an <code>XSLT Compile error</code> on the <code>xslt.Load</code> line
  Below that is the output from the error. I am passing the XSLT as a string, so not sure why I am getting the error I am.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Public Function xFrmTlogs(ByVal sXLST As String, ByVal sXML As String) As String
      Dim xslt As New XslCompiledTransform()
      Dim HTMLoutput As String
      Dim writer As New StringWriter()
  
      Try
          xslt.Load(New XmlTextReader(New StringReader(sXLST.ToString)))
      Catch ex As Exception
          xFrmTlogs = ex.ToString
      End Try
  
      Dim sourceReader As System.Xml.XmlReader = System.Xml.XmlReader.Create(New System.IO.StringReader(sXML))
  
      Try
          xslt.Transform(sourceReader, Nothing, writer)
      Catch ex As Exception
          xFrmTlogs = ex.ToString
      End Try
  
      HTMLoutput = writer.ToString()
      writer.Close()
      xFrmTlogs = HTMLoutput
  End Function
  </code></pre>
