// 3. Transform each XML into a custom object
// For simplicity the custom object bears the same structure as the ediFabric object. The only difference being the root element and the namespace
// The default locations for the transaction set classes and validation XSD are set in the app.config
// This sample is for Edifact and uses a compiled XSLT map to convert to custom object from ediFabric object
