This object, an object implementing IXPathNavigable, or a XmlReader object (remember, an XSL stylesheet is an XML document itself). The Transform() method takes a URL, an XPathNavigator object, or an object implementing IXPathNavigable as its first argument, which contains the XML document to transform. The second argument is an XsltArgumentList object; see XsltArgumentList for an example of using bound functions and/or variables.

The transformed result is output to an XmlReader object by default, or you can specify either a System.IO.Stream, XmlWriter, or XmlTextWriter object in the third argument for the output.
