  Parsing out Nodes

  Sep 03, 2003 03:38 PM|LINK

  I am using an RSS xml file to show news titles on my site. SOmetines the news feeds have 5 stories sometimes there are 10 stories. I only want to show the top 3. How can I do that? Here is my code for the XSLT and the XML link to the RSS: RSS link: http://rss.com.com/2547-12-0-5.xml XSLT file:

  <xsl:stylesheet
       version="1.0"
       xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
       
       
       
            
                 
            
            
              
            
       
       
       
            <div class="ChannelTitle">
                 
            </div>
            
  
  
       
       
            <div class="ArticleEntry">
                 <div class="ArticleTitle">
                      
                 </div>
                 <div class="ArticleHeader">
                      
                 </div>
                 <div class="ArticleDescription">
                   
  	  
  	    
  	  
        	  
         	    More on this story.
             	  
  	
                </div>
            </div>

  The .aspx page:

  private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
  {
    XmlDocument _xmlDocument;
    XmlDocument _xmlOutput;			
    XslTransform _xslTransform;
    
    _xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
    _xmlOutput = new XmlDocument();
    _xslTransform = new XslTransform();
    _xmlDocument.Load("http://rss.com.com/2547-12-0-5.xml");
    _xslTransform.Load(Server.MapPath("RssArticles.xslt"));
  
    StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
    _xslTransform.Transform(_xmlDocument, null, sw, new XmlUrlResolver());
    Response.Write(sw.ToString()); 
  }

  You can change the apply-templates you have to select only top XXX elements like this:

  remember to encode the '<' sign to be < or it will be invalid XML.
