Paste XML node in first position using XSL

Question

XSLT currently inserts an import if it does not exist

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Project DefaultTargets="Build" ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"> ... ... <Import Project="$(SolutionDir)BuildShared.targets" /> </Project> 

I need him to insert it as the first node

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Project DefaultTargets="Build" ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"> <Import Project="$(SolutionDir)BuildShared.targets" /> ... ... </Project> 

template.xsl;

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:ms="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"> <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/> <xsl:template match='@*|node()'> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select='@*|node()'/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="/ms:Project[not(ms:Import[@Project='$(SolutionDir)BuildConfiguration.targets'])]"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/> <Import xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" Project="$(SolutionDir)BuildConfiguration.targets"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> 

Switching the import and application strings gives:

runtime error: file template.xsl line 9 element copy

Attribute nodes must be added before any child nodes to an element.

Just do xsl:apply-templates for node() and @* separately:

 <xsl:template match="/ms:Project[not(ms:Import[@Project='$(SolutionDir)BuildConfiguration.targets'])]"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/> <Import xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" Project="$(SolutionDir)BuildConfiguration.targets"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template>
