Solution 1

SQL

Declare @Stylesheet as XML
Declare @xOutput as XML
DECLARE @XmlTable TABLE (	
	Element0 int,
	Element1 nvarchar(100),
	Element2 nvarchar(200))
	
INSERT INTO @XmlTable ([Element0] ,[Element1],[Element2])
     VALUES (1,'bobo','Monkey')		

-- Convert Table data into XML
SET @xOutput = (Select *From @XmlTable
	FOR XML PATH( 'DataItem' ), ROOT('Root'))
select @xOutput

select @xOutput.query('
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="my-style-sheet.xsl" ?>,/.')

Oh thats pretty cool. Thanks
I should have ask how to do this in c# and not in a stored procedure as the "href" value will be taken from a config file.

Solution 5

createXML.WriteProcessingInstruction("xml-stylesheet", "type='text/xsl' href='gss.xsl'");

C#

// Create the XmlDocument.
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml("<item><name>wrench</name></item>");



doc.PrependChild(doc.CreateProcessingInstruction(
     "xml-stylesheet",
     "type='text/xsl' href='book.xsl'"));




// Save the document to a file and auto-indent the output.
XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter("data.xml",null);
writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
doc.Save(writer);
