Thanks Steven, any chance you could point me at some example code to get me started?
msxml does it similarly to xalan java. You declare a namespace for the c# functions and prefix function calls with it. If they're custom functions then you need to provide a reference in a separate xml file to the assembly(a shared library) that contains the code. Then it knows to load it into memory at run time.
