Calling XSLT file from masterpage return nothing!!

Hi Guys,

After a while I started using again Umbraco(this time 4.8) for a customer of mine.

I faced a very basic problem which is killing me!!!

I want to simply call one of my XSLT files in a template (MasterPage) but by calling it, i see nothing in the outcome.

Any idea what am i missing here?

I am using VS2010.

the outcome is a blank page and in the page source what I see is:


 <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
    <title>

    </title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/CSS/style.css" type="text/css" />

    <!--[if lt IE 9]>
                    <script src="/assets/js/html5.js"></script>
                    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/ie.css" />
          <script src="/assets/js/IE8.js"></script>
                <![endif]-->

    </head>

    <body>

    <form method="post" action="/home.aspx" id="aspnetForm">
<div class="aspNetHidden">
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="/wEPDwUENTM4MWRkL1V6mgTssukwI728ssxCvZDFBxw5JjzfA4eXYEM1oLg=" />
</div>
        <div id="content-wrapper">
        
        <div id="MiddleItems">
            <div id="Boxes">

            </div>
        </div>
        </div>
    </form>
    </body>
    </html>

Please find below my codes:

Update:

while I am working in VS on my masterpage, sounds my VS is not recognizing the "umbraco:macro" tag as there is a green line under it!

Could it be any how related to my problem?
