Hi Muhammad,

XSLT has some shortcomings compared to a lot of ordinary programming language features, for example variable and switch, are not implemented the way we are typically used to from other languages. It is not a programming language in a classical sense, rather an xml parsing tool.

I suggest that you look at "choose" at w3schools, that might be useful for you: http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/xsl_choose.asp

Hope that helps.

Brgds.

Hi Anders,

Thanks for Response. If i do Coding in C#  for Switch Statement and i want to call this Function In XSlt. WHo Can I Do this.

The Second Thing is that i want to implement Searching from C# and use this Seaching Function in Umbraco. Who Can Do this.

Thanks

Hussain

You can develop what is known as XSLT extensions in c# and then call those from within your xslt.
I have not done this myself, but others might be able to help you out :)

With searching, you can create a ordinary dll and dump it in the /bin folder of the Umbraco site. From there on, you can add a usercontrol that uses the features of the dll. Or at least thats what I would do to implement my own custom search.

I guess there are other ways to implement this as well.

By the way with regards to switch and XSLT I would recommend sticking with your if's - even though I agree its not pretty I think its the best solution within the limitations of xslt.

Brgds. Anders

Muhammad I think an example would help:

Xslt with 4 if:

<xsl:if test="CONDITION1">
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="CONDITION2">
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="CONDITION3">
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="CONDITION4">
</xsl:if>

Xslt with one choose instead of if:

<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="CONDITION1">
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:when test="CONDITION2">
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:when test="CONDITION3">
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:when test="CONDITION4">
  </xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>

hth, Thomas,

Thanks for Resposne but this is like if else and if else and so on. This is not like Switch in C#. The switch use case in Switch.
