Using XMLTextReader to improve XSLT processing

One of the things that I spend a little too much time working on was how to setup a more streamlined version of resolving entities and ignoring entities.  The key has to do with avoiding a call to the XMLValidateNavigator object, and using the XMLTextReader gives you more granularity over the process.  Here’s an example:

/*=====================================================
* Function/sub: TransformXSLT
* Description: Does the XSLT translation
* ====================================================*/public int TransformXSLT(string sSource,
string sDest,
string sXSLT,
bool bRemote)
{System.Xml.XmlTextReader reader = new System.Xml.XmlTextReader(sSource);
if (bRemote==false) {
reader.XmlResolver = null;
} System.Text.UTF8Encoding Encoding = new System.Text.UTF8Encoding(false);
System.IO.StreamWriter writer = new System.IO.StreamWriter(sDest, false, Encoding);
