Exporting VB Data to HTML, Creating an Object, or is there one ?

Greetings !

First Post on this site, i just found it today ! it's lookin prety skippy !
i might be here a while !!! hehehe

ok, jsut some background. i have been programming for 21 years, i can write in 7 languages including VB, HTML, javascript, VBScript... and if any of you have heard of it... Mumps

I am creating a VB application, retrieving data into this app. i am in the process of creating an Object (currently only a module) to take teh info i have and export it to HTML format.

basically i am "printing to file" (HTML format)
does anyone know of existing source code that will already do this ?
i am eventually going to compile teh mod into a full stand alone Object to reuse it.
i can easily do all of this, but didnt want to have to re-invent the wheel if it is already out there...

BTW, i need the source code. i can not just use an existing DLL, or OCX. with the job i do, i have to validate the integrity of the software before it is put into production.

also, i will be adding in additional information to it so the document (once created as HTML) is self validating. if it is ever moved to a different location than it was originally written to on the network, the HTML doc pops up a message when tried to be viewed saying that it was moved, and it closes back down. (its a QC thing...) (this part is already working)

anyway... anyone know where i can get something like this ?

Try... here, my friend gave me this earlier, might be what you're after. :confused: :eek:

Sorry he changed it :-/

thanks for your rapid reply.
i took a look at it, but that is really pretty basic to what i am looking for.

i am referring to creating a resueable DLL file, an Object, that will have Methods and Properties....
Example :

Object module : ExportToHTML

Public Sub TableCreateNew(intWidth As Integer, blnBorder As Boolean, intBackColor As Integer)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Print #1, "<table "
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If Len(intWidth) > 0 Then Print #1, "width=" & intWidth & " "
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If blnBorder = True Then Print #1, "border=1 "
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If Len(intBackColor) > 0 Then Print #1, "bgcolor=" & intBackColor
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Print #1, ">"
End Sub

Public Sub TableEnd()
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Print #1, "</table>" & Chr(13)
End Sub

once running, you would be able to access the object with the methods :

ExportToHTML.TableCreateNew (400, 1, 15)
ExportToHTML.TableEnd

TableCreateNew, would create a new table in the HTML document, make it 400 pixels wide, with a border and give it a black background.

once you compile it to a DLL Object, any VB program can access it and dump information out to an HTML file simply by passing it the info you want as parameters, to create as an HTML document.

i am looking for the source code to all of the different HTML tags for object oriented design...

but seriously.. thanks for your input !!!!!!
