[RESOLVED] [2.0] Convert HtmlTable to HTML source code

[vbud]

Hi,

consider the following code snippet:

            HtmlTable table = new HtmlTable();
            HtmlTableRow row1 = new HtmlTableRow();
            
            HtmlTableCell cell1 = new HtmlTableCell();
            HtmlTableCell cell2 = new HtmlTableCell();       

            cell1.InnerText = "Test1";
            cell2.InnerText = "Test2";

            row1.Cells.Add(cell1);
            row1.Cells.Add(cell2);

            table.Rows.Add(row1);

Now my problem is that I want to obtain the HTML source code of the "table" such that I could output this in a browser control of a windows application. Anyone ever done this or can help me on this? I've tried using HtmlTextWriter with no success. I'm probably not doing the correct thing here...

Can you just write the HTML and set that to your WebBrowser's DocumentText property instead of doing all the other stuff?

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string html = @"
<table border=""1"">
    <tr>
        <td>row 1, cell 1</td>
        <td>row 1, cell 2</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>row 2, cell 1</td>
        <td>row 2, cell 2</td>
    </tr>
</table>";

            this.webBrowser1.DocumentText = html;
        }

The document I want to generate is far more complex than the sample I posted, so instead of having to recreate an HTML parser i'm looking at alternative solutions...

Would this do it?

using (MemoryStream dataStream = new MemoryStream())
{
	using (StreamWriter textWriter = new StreamWriter(dataStream, Encoding.UTF8))
	{
		using (HtmlTextWriter htmlWriter = new HtmlTextWriter(textWriter))
		{
			table.RenderControl(htmlWriter);
			textWriter.Flush();
			dataStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);

			using (StreamReader dataReader = new StreamReader(dataStream))
			{
				string htmlContent = dataReader.ReadToEnd();
				Console.WriteLine(htmlContent);
			}
		}
	}
}

Yes, perfectly. Thanks!!!
