To add stocks.xml and stocks.xsl to the project

  1. Create a new C++ source file. For detailed instructions on how to do this, see Set Up My Visual C++ Project. Name the new file stocks.xml
  2. Copy stocks.xml, above, and paste it into the source file you just created.
  3. Create another new C++ source file.
  4. Copy the XSD file above and paste it into the source file you just created.
    Note   You can also copy the files into the project's main directory using Windows Explorer (or a command prompt).

Next, build and run the XSLT project. The result should be the output shown in the following topic.
