How to convert from XslTransform of VS2003 to XslCompiledTransform of VS2005?

Question

We are currently converting our project from VS2003 to VS2005 and I'm looking for the right way to convert the code using XslTransform to XslCompiledTransform.

The changing the class name is not the big deal, but when it comes to using XslCompiledTransform's Transform method, I have a problem.

Before XslTransform's Transform method was accepting XPathDocument object and right now Transfrom method expect XmlReader instead:

Here is the code:

XslCompiledTransform xslt = new XslCompiledTransform();
XPathDocument doc = new XPathDocument(new StringReader(DS.GetXml().ToString()));
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
xslt.Transform(doc,null,sw,null);

Also, new Transform method expect System.Xml.XmlWriter instead of System.IO.StringWriter.

What is the best way to fix that?

Thank you

The following link describes the differences between the XslCompiledTransform and the XslTransform classes.

A section has also some code samples in both versions.
