Add a META line to an existing HTML doc programmatically

The HTML doc looks like this:

<HTML xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office">

<HEAD>
<META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="Microsoft MapPoint 2004">

Now I need to add a META line to force the browser to refresh every 5
minutes as follow:

<HEAD>
<META Http-Equiv="Refresh" CONTENT="300" />
<META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="Microsoft MapPoint 2004">
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Hey Bill,

there is a HtmlMeta class that you can use to do just that! You put
the code in the Page_Load class and it will populate the tags for you

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)

' Create two instances of an HtmlMeta control.
Dim meta As New HtmlMeta()

' Get a reference to the page header element.
Dim head As HtmlHead = Page.Header

' Define an HTML <metaelement
hm1.Name = "keywords"
hm1.Content = "one, two, three"
head.Controls.Add(hm1)

End Sub
