It doesn't say the xml source is invalid, it says the path is not a valid virtual path, ie it expects an application relative local path. You can download the target to local temp file and set this as path, you can also load the web url into a XmlDocument and assign this.

For example I have this path variable in Page Load:

Dim rss As String = "http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/rss.aspx?ForumID=38&Mode=0&SiteID=1"

this is the XmlDocument use also in Page Load:

        Dim doc As New System.Xml.XmlDocument()
        doc.Load(rss)
        Xml1.XPathNavigator = doc.CreateNavigator

or this to download to temp file:

        Dim client As New Net.WebClient
        Dim local As String = Server.MapPath("temp.xml")
        client.DownloadFile(rss, local)
        Xml1.DocumentSource = local

In both cases here the Xsl transform file was set in Designer for the Xml control.

Not familiar, doesn't sound like an error ASP.Net would throw. What's your RSS link and what's your Xsl sheet code?
