how to execute and capture .aspx output

[John Mott]

Is there a way for a web form to invoke an .aspx page and get its output
using the framework? I suppose i can create a client app and execute the url
but I'm thinking there must be a way to do it with the framework.

thanks,

john

Yes, you can use the WebResponse and WebRequest classes in the framework to
request the ASPX page and then capture the HTML output from the Response's
output stream. I don't have the code in front of me, but I can dig it up if
you need it.

Dim webReq as WebRequest
Dim webResp as WebResponse
Dim srResp as StreamReader

webReq = webReq.Create("http://some.url.com/somepage.aspx")
webResp = webReq.GetResponse()
srResp = New StreamReader(webResp.GetResponseStream())

Dim htmlOutput as String = srResp.ReadToEnd()
