Hi all,

How do I write the output of a user control to an html file, rather
than rendering it onto the parent page?

I was thinking of overriding the render method of the user control???

Any ideas,

Thanks,

Stewart

You should be able to override the Render method of your page object and get
the final output from there.
Here's more info:

fsystemwebuicontrolclassrendertopic.asp

Or you can use the WebRequest object to call your web page, then you can
capture the HTML that it output.
Here's a nice example:
