Re: [xsl] comments take time? XSLT 1.0

[Dimitre Novatchev <dnovatchev@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dave,

One can find the xsltc.exe utility as part of installed VS 2008 (and I
hope in later versions, too) at: C:\Program Files\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\xsltc.exe

Here is a link to the documentation:

Cheers,
Dimitre
