Hi Team,

I Want to get current datetime in XSLT 1.0. By Googling, I found a method 'current-dateTime()', but its in XSLT 2.0 and also doesn't supported by Dotnet 2.0

Current requirement doesn't allow me to call any external C# method.

Is any alternate method or process or logic I can apply?

Please help me.

Thanks in Advance.

Thanks,
Siddharth

It seems that XSLT 1.0 does not provide standard any to get the current date/time. You need to use an extension function.

Use the following script

<ms:script language="javascript" implements-prefix="user">
    function datediff(date1, date2)
    {
        return Math.round(((new Date(date2)) - (new Date(date1))/1000/60);
    }
</ms:script>
