I think Dimitre's solution is the better choice, as it avoids the overhead of a variable and the extra processing of the // operator. So if you ever want to optimize, look at Dimitre's suggestions again. Still, I'm glad we could help you make something that works.

I ended up using Jay Bryant's Solution, I could not get Dimitres' solution to work, Kept getting blanks, although I now understand what was going on and it looks like his solution should also work. I just had to change Jay's solution from > <xsl:variable name="EVDs" select="//EnumValueDescription"/> To <xsl:variable name="EVDs" select=".//EnumValueDescription"/> Thanks to All !
