I am looking for a way to capture the HTML file generated by an
ASP.Net application (just as is sent back to the client) and save it
to a designated spot on the web server. Here's a bit of background:
our application has a Report function that dynamically creates a new
page containing various tables of real-time data (through the C# code
"behind" the .aspx file). We have a new requirement to add a file
save function to this report page. So, I'd like to capture the final
HTML within the the.aspx file (exactly as is sent to the browser) and
save it (with an .htm extension) on the web server. Think of it as
having the ability to do a "view source" of the final HTML, and then
saving the source back to a file on the web server. Does anyone know
of supported way to capture the generated HTML and save it
server-side? All suggestions welcome and much appreciated.

Hi,
All you have to do is using a WebRequest instance to request that very same
page and later save the stream.
Cheers,

Hi Michael:
I'm not sure if you want to save the HTML from inside the ASP.NET
process or request the HTML from the web server inside a windows form.
Inside ASP.NET you can Server.Execute a page to get the HTML. From a
WinForm app you can use WebClient or WebRequest.
I have some code here: http://odetocode.com/Articles/162.aspx
HTH,

The Render* methods of the
System.Web.UI.H tmlControls.Htm lControl/System.Web.UI.W ebControls.WebC ontrol
may be called manually to stream the HTML to a TextWriter.

Thanks to Scott, Ignacio, and Dennis for their replies. I pretty much
went with Scott's suggested use of Server.Execute. This turned out to
be quite easy. I haven't tweaked the code yet, but these five lines of
code esssentially did the job:
m_OutputFile = "c:\myDir\myFil e.htm";
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(m_ OutputFile,true );
Server.Execute( "ReportWindow.a spx", sw);
sw.Flush();
sw.Close();

Hi, all. I'd like to do the following, preferably *without* resorting to
JavaScript:
I have a long, dynamically-generated form questionnaire. Not all of the
form fields are dynamically generated, though.
I'd like to capture the NAME of every HTML form field element on the
server, even if that element is submitted blank. The trouble is, with,
say, radio buttons or checkboxes for example, a *blank* element does not
get submitted at all.

Technically speaking, this issue is not about modifying the HTML

Consider the following server control...

TextBox renders at run-time as an HTML control...

I'm trying to find a way to program in ASP.NET 2.0 but capture the HTML

It doesn't work if I include a server-side dropdownlist control on the page.
The error is RegisterForEventValidation can only be called during Render();
Any ideas?

I need to capture all the html that is generated after the user fills
all the controls on a page. This needs to be captured at the moment
the user hits the submit button. I tried doing it wit a server.execute, but
it raises an exception. It complains about 'infinite loop or infinite
recursion'
