Hello,

I have an application that uses umbraco and its web services to create content through umbraco.

I have some custom document types with various properties. One of these properties is an id which works as a relation to the custom app.

For example this article has a userid property that relates (works as a point of relation - to let us know that it belongs to a particular user) back to a user in the application.

Now i can output all the article content through xslt no problems, but my question is what is the best strategy for getting more information about the user it belongs to which is in a seperate application (I have the userid - so now its a matter of making a call to the application to retrieve more information and output it with xslt - if possible)?

Can I make calls in c# to a seperate application within xslt or should I be looking at doing this differently?

many thanks
