  Grabbing html before sending to browser

  Aug 21, 2003 01:51 PM|LINK

  On our ordering page we have a page which generates a receipt, and it looks lovely on screen, this is my question. I would like to grab the html produced (before it is rendered to the browser) and use it as the body of a html email, can this be done ? CHALLENGE!!!! Mark.
  Cheers.

  You can override the Render method and pass your own HtmlWriter. Then you can dump the contents of the HtmlWriter to your message.

  you can do something like this @ Page.Render: protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer) { using(MemoryStream ms=new MemoryStream()) { using(StreamWriter sw=new StreamWriter(ms,Response.ContentEncoding)) { sw.AutoFlush=true; Stream oldstream=Response.Filter; Response.Filter=ms; bool buffer=Response.Buffer; if(buffer) Response.Buffer=false; try { base.Render(new HtmlTextWriter(sw)); } finally { Response.Filter=oldstream; if(buffer) Response.Buffer=true; } SetResponseCache(); //now ms contains the html //you can save ms to .... //rewrite to Response ms.WriteTo(Response.OutputStream); } } }
