XmlSerializer with custom transform using XSLT

Question
Is there a way to deserialize a XML stream using XmlSerializer by applying a custom transform defined in a XSLT?
Solution
I don't think there is a single API call that would allow that but you could certainly implement that with a few lines along the following approach:
XslCompiledTransform proc = new XslCompiledTransform();
proc.Load("sheet.xsl");
XmlDocument tempResult = new XmlDocument();
using (XmlWriter xw = tempResult.CreateNavigator().AppendChild())
{
proc.Transform("input.xml", null, xw);
xw.Close();
}
XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Foo));
Foo foo = (Foo)ser.Deserialize(new XmlNodeReader(tempResult));
