i have looked and looked for this and so far all the code i've downloaded simply doesnt work.
this code (below) works fine - however it opens up the "save file Dialog" and requires that the user select the path to save the .html file.
how can i by-pass that and save the file myself to say - a virtual directory?
any help is greatly appreciated
thanks

Dim oHtmlTextWriter As System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter = New System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter(oStringWriter)
pnMyPanel.RenderControl(oHtmlTextWriter)
Response.Write(oHtmlTextWriter.ToString())
Response.Close()

hi,

i'm trying to do this but i need the definition type of tthe pnMyPanel variable.

thks

sorry, it's a aspx .Net control.
basically,
<asp:Panel ID="pnMyPanel" Width="800" BorderColor="Black" BorderWidth="3px" runat="server">

thanks
rik

i went another way with this basically assembling the .aspx page thru string builder. then passing it to
the IO StreamWriter Object. Not Elegant but it does work.
thought i would post this as a follow up.
thanks again

Private Sub WriteHtmlFile(ByVal myPage As String, ByVal myFileName As String)

Dim myHtmlWriter As System.IO.StreamWriter
Dim myFile As String
myFile = myFileName.ToString
myHtmlWriter = System.IO.File.CreateText("C:\" & myFile & ".html")
Dim myFilePath As String = ("C:\" & myFile & ".html")
myHtmlWriter.Write(myPage.ToString)
myHtmlWriter.Close()
End Sub
