Render Table Control to HTML

[tailz]

I have a table object and I want to render it as html into a string. I've been looking at htmltextwriters etc but a touch confused.

Any help appreicated :]

You want put the output of your control's render method into a string ? Normally, you just use RenderContents(htmlwriter).

But this should get you started:

System.IO.MemoryStream stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
			System.IO.TextWriter t = new System.IO.StreamWriter(stream);
			System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter h = new System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter(t);
			System.Web.UI.WebControls.Table table = new Table();
			table.Height = 200;
			table.RenderControl(h);
			h.InnerWriter.Flush();
			byte[] r = new byte[stream.Length];
			stream.Seek(0,System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin);
			stream.Read(r,0,r.Length);
			result = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(r,0,r.Length);
