I am very new to xls and xml transformation so please excuse some ignorance.  I have created a simplified example of my problem which the xmlCompiledTransform also has problems with.  Below is the xml document and xsl document.  The xmlcompiletransform does not return any html.  The saxon transformation tool works as expected.  I am not sure what to look for. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
sample xml:

My vb.net code for the transforamtion:

				HTML:
			
		
		
		<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<n1:treasure xmlns:n1="myNamespace">
