Hey Ray,
Here's something adapted from ASP.NET 2.0 Cookbook from O'Reilly
(
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/aspnetckbk2/)
This works in 2.0. Haven't tried it in 1.1 Maybe it will give you an idea?

Hi All
In my ASP.NET project, all my pages inherit from a base class which
extends the Page object. I also have a pdf generator that takes in HTML
Text and will generate a PDF for you. What I want to implement in my
custom Page class is the ability for the page to generate the HTML text of
itself. Can this be done? I have tried looping through all my controls
and rendering them as per your example but am hitting some walls.
Any ideas?
Kind Regards
Ray Booysen
