How do you run a compiled stylesheet? XslCompiledTransform class has new overloaded Load() method  in .NET 3.5, which accepts Type:

XPathDocument doc = new XPathDocument("books.xml"); 
XslCompiledTransform xslt = new XslCompiledTransform(); 
xslt.Load(typeof(Foo.Bar.catalog2html)); 
xslt.Transform(doc, null, Console.Out); 

Note: you also can use nxslt3 tool to run compiled stylesheets.
