how to: Collect entire form's html code

Ryan McLean

Hello everyone!

What I am trying to accomplish is as follows: I have a .aspx page
where I display the user's information. This consists of a datagrid,
several labels, etc. I would like to send this same information in
the body of an email. Now, I know I could simply rewrite the contents
into an html string thingy and just put stuff like
strMailBody="<html><body><table><tr><td>First name:</td><td>" &
Me.txtFirstName.Text & " . . . and so forth, but I am trying to figure
out if there is a way to grab information that is printed onto the
screen. I have looked into readHtmlPage, is there any other way I
might accomplish this. I am hoping that I could just put everything
that I need into an asp:tablecell and capture everything that way. As
you probably know this failed miserably.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

You can email a page to somebody using the WebRequest and MailMessage
classes for this functionality.
Here are a couple examples:
