Load XML document with options Leave feedback

GroupDocs.Conversion provides XmlLoadOptions to give you control over how the source XML document will be processed. The following options could be set:

The following code snippet shows how to use XML as a data source and convert it to a spreadsheet:

using (Converter converter = new Converter("data.xml", () => new XmlLoadOptions
{
    UseAsDataSource = true
}))
{
    SpreadsheetConvertOptions options = new SpreadsheetConvertOptions();
    converter.Convert("converted.xlsx", options);
}

The following code shows how to convert a XML transformed through XSLT to a PDF:

using (var converter = new Converter("books.xml", () => new XmlLoadOptions
   {
       XsltFactory = () => File.OpenRead("books.xsl")
   }))
{
    var options = new PdfConvertOptions();
    converter.Convert("converted.pdf", options);
}

External resources refer to data or content that is referenced or linked from within an XML document but is stored separately, typically in separate files or locations. Common external resources include DTDs or XML schemas, entities, XSLT Stylesheets, data sources, images, multimedia, and so on.

In some cases, you may want to skip loading all or just some of the external resources during the conversion. For example, when these resources become unavailable. Read the Skip loading of external resources article to learn how to do this with GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET.
