HtmlControl or WebControl from HTML string

[michael.schwarz]

Hello,

is it possible to get a HtmlControl from a string including the HTML
code in .NET 2.0? I was using the TemplateControl .ParseControl method
in .NET 1.1, but this is not working in the new version.

Your question is confusing. First, what do you mean by "get?" Second, a
Control is a class. A string is text. So, what exactly are youre
requirements?

TemplateControl .ParseControl works fine in 2.0.

Check your syntax :
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...l.parsecontrol

The problem is that I need this feature in a library, not on a page. I
get the error ArgumentExcepti on for argument virtualPath.

I get a string like "<select><optio n value=1>One</option></select>" and
want to get a HtmlSelect control. In .NET 1.1 I used this code:
TemplateControl p = new System.Web.UI.U serControl();
Control htmlControl = p.ParseControl( "<select
runat=\"server\ "><option>h ans</option></select>");

HtmlControl result = null;

if (htmlControl.Ge tType() == htmlControlType )
{
result = htmlControl as HtmlControl;
}
else
{
foreach (Control con in htmlControl.Con trols)
{
if (con.GetType() == htmlControlType )
{
result = con as HtmlControl;
break;
}
}
}
In .NET 2.0 I get an exception that the property virtualPath is missing.
If I use the ParseControl method in a webform (UI.Page) it is working
correct, but I need this code in a library.

Regards,
Michael
