Hey friends, I'm forced to use VS 2005 express edition and I'm working on generating xmls from my winform.
I've downloaded the installer named LINQ Preview (May 2006).msi and that had helped me to used Linq.xml in VS2005 express edition.
These xmls are used (only) for maintaining database of calculations done in the past. I can manually write the xslt file, but I wanted to know that Is anybody aware of any patch/utility which can help generate xslt file from an xml file with VS2005 express edition?

Do you mean generate an XML file from an XSLT file?
If so, then you can use the System.Xml.Xsl.XslCompiledTransform class which was introduced in .NET 2.0 and can therefore be used from VC# 2005 Express.
If you want help in generating the XSLT file itself, then you can try Altova StyleVision free for 30 days.

No no..... I wanted to generate xlt file from my existing xml file. :) . . . . . . Thx vulpes..... I was doing the search and asked the IT guy to download and let me use a 3rd party converter from www.brothersoft.com/downloads/xml-to-xlt-converter.html . At last.... I got VS 2008 express edition now so no worries, I'm just trying to look around this new version and it's new features. The only doubt I'm having is that whatever I'm creating/compiling on VS2008 express edition will required framework 3.5 on client machine????? Or I can create something which will work fine on 3.0 also????

You can in fact build a project down to .NET 3.0 (or even 2.0) with VC# 2008 Express. From the Project menu, select Properties and then on the Application tab change the Target Framework drop-down from .NET Framework 3.5 to 3.0. Just close the Properties window for the new setting to take effect and rebuild the project.
