    How to make include recognize it's parent's variables

    So I have three XSLT files mother.xslt and child1.xslt and child2.xslt.

    The mother.xslt has an xsl;variable that needs to be in place for both child1 and child2 to function correctly.

    However, Visual Studio does not know that the children are imported by the mother. So I see red squiggles every time that I use the mother's variable.

    Is there a way to tell VS to look at the mother for the variables?

    Hi Sebastiaan,

    I don't use VS so can not say for sure, but depending on your templates setup you might be able to fake something by declaring a local variable in the template using it and assigning it the value of the global variable:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet
    version="1.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
>

    <xsl:variable name="var" select="'Hello World'" />

    <xsl:include href="include1.xslt" />

    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:value-of select="$var" />

        <xsl:call-template name="sub1" />
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>



<!-- In include1.xslt: -->
<xsl:template name="sub1">
    <xsl:variable name="var" select="$var" />
    [<xsl:value-of select="$var" />]
</xsl:template>

    You sir, are absolutely correct! Thank you, I hate red squiggles!

    Shoot! I spoke too soon! The children now have no more squiggles, but they fail to load unless I remove the variables because they have the same name as an existing variable. So I guess the only solution is to do something like: 

    <xsl:variable name="var" select="$localVar" />

    Probably worth it though, to catch errors that I would've otherwise missed.
