Get inner html of an HTML element from codebehind file

[eggie5]

So, I'm in my code behind file (Page_Load to be exact) and I need to
get the HTML generated by my repeater and save it to a string? How can
I do this, is the HTML even generated at Page_Load time, or do I need
to wait? If so, just tell me to what event, and then how I can get that
HTML to a string in my code behind file.

Thanks,
Alex

hi,
if it can help, here's a list of the events fired on a page when it's drawn:

I figured it out. I just added a flag to my method that builds the
repeater and added this code to the bottom of that method:

if (render)
{
StringBuilder sb= new StringBuilder();

StringWriter sw= new StringWriter(sb);

HtmlTextWriter hw= new
HtmlTextWriter(sw);
RepeaterPapers.RenderControl(hw);

return sb.ToString();

}

So if render is true, it will return immediately with the html of the
repeater!
