Every server control comes with a RenderControl() method which render the control and it's child controls to the specified TextWriter.
Trick here is to make your div run at server. Add a runat=server attribute to the Confirmation_div. Here is a generic method to get the rendered output of any control.
string GetRenderedOutput<T>(T control) where T : Control
{
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
using (StringWriter sWriter = new StringWriter(builder))
using (Html32TextWriter writer = new Html32TextWriter(sWriter))
{
control.RenderControl(writer);
}
return builder.ToString();
}Use it like
MailMessage.Body = GetRenderedOutput(Confirmation_div); OR
MailMessage.Body = GetRenderedOutput<HtmlGenericControl>(Confirmation_div);

Hi Navaneeth,
Thanks! I do remember seeing the RenderControl in the intellisense, but it never dawned on me to look into that method! I thought it would be "ClientOutput" or something like that.
I did have a quick question, though. Can you tell me what this line is saying?
string GetRenderedOutput<T>(T control) where T : Control
I understand Where T is inherenting from the Control class, but I've never seen <t>(T Control) before.
Thanks Again!

T represents a Generic Type here. Means you can assign any value to T type that inherits Control.
If you write
where T : class
It would take any classes.
I suggest to read the basic books on Generics to clear it more.

T is a generic type and where T : Control is a constraint. It means T can be of any type that derives from Control. When you write GetRenderedOutput(yourDiv);, compiler will infer the type from the type of yourDiv. Writing GetRenderedOutput<HtmlGenericControl>(yourDiv); is more explicit and it will only take a type of HtmlGenericControl.

Oh, so then you could write a method to say, format or parse strings, Dictonaries<>, Lists, ect and using a generic, pass the method anything and let it figure out what it is?
bool myMethod<T>(T Object) Where T : Object {}
I'm a self-taught programmer and I've read the whole way through Head First C# (which I really enjoyed and learned a lot), but I don't recall seeing anything about generics....Or if I did, obviously it didn't sink in. I'll have to go back and review that tonight.
Thank's again for all your help!

What is an web user control and when shud i go for an web user control?
What is the need of an user control?
|

Web user control are those controls which we create and add to Web pages. Creating a user control for Web Application is very similar to creating a user control in Windows Application. User controls in ASP.NET are based on the System.Web.UI.UserControl.
If you need to reuse the same composite page section in a number of times, you can go to create one ASP.net web user control. After that you can just add those modules to your page (one or more times) and get their functionality.
Web user control is very easy to make. You will have both designer to create the design. This is in contrast with Custom Controls, which is just a class and needed to override the Render method.
You will be creating a Web user control just like how you create a page. So, those are just custom page reusable modules.![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Hi,
I am developing a project in .net and vb.net, offering free web hosting with subdomain,
like Geocities and Tripod.
but i dont know that how to create subdomain programmatically by vb.net coding.
As the user will fill the member forms and will become the member , he will get a url like
http://subdomain.domain.com automatically,
i have no idea about subdomain creation dynamically , got my point
We buy from webfusion that domain name. We have user name and password from this site. But we are creating all these things previously i told that using manually in this site. But what our requirement is need to create in programmatically. we have ip address host name, username and password.
if you have any idea about subdomain creation programmatically in any language or having any general idea help me
Thanx in advance

I have a label in my aspx page & iam changing its text via
document.getElementById("LabelID"). innerHTML = "SOmeText";
from JAVASCRIPT.
Now by default an ASP.NET label should retain its contents. But its not.
IS there any way to make it so I can change a label on the client-side and the contents persists back to the server?
If iam using a textbox it does works fine.

I have not tried this. Just a wild guess. Try changing to innerText.
document.getElementById("LabelID").innerText = "SOmeText";

Navaneeth, I think the controls which don’t have the ‘name’ attribute wouldn’t maintain its contents on post back.

For server controls, the id will be put as name. So what you are saying won't occur. The real issue here is a label render as HTML span and contents of span will not be posted to server. See my latest reply.

True

AFAIK, there is no way to get the value on server which is changed by JS for a label. Label is rendered as HTML span and the values of HTML elements like this are not posted to server. If you know CSS, you can make a text box look like a label and change the text box value.
Please ignore my previous reply.

Use <asp:hiddenControl to change its value.
Anything other than input types are reflects its changes through javacript in server (Not even Serverside ReadOnly/Disabled TextBoxes). So even if you change the innerHTML of the control, you will not find it in server side. Rather use
document.getElementById("hiddeninput").value = "SOmeText";
document.getElementById("LabelID").innerHTML = "SomeText";
I hope this will help you.

Thanks Friends .. thanks a lot for you support
I implemented a textbox but since that textbox need not be Editable Can i change its style to that of a LABEL

Of course budd.
Just add a Textbox. In the server side add:
txtbox.Attributes.Add("readonly", "readonly");
This will make the textbox readonly and also reflect any data being changed in the client.
If you make
txtbox.Readonly = true / txtbox.Enabled = false;
the textbox value changed in the client will not reflect in the server.
Hope you understand.

Hello,
I am looking for a web survey tool/framework (commercial or freeware, doesn't matter, but .NET for integration purposes) that allows to build web forms. Does anyone know one ?
Best wishes,
Desmond

Since I didn’t implement any third part web survey tool, I can’t suggest you a good one. But a quick search on google(Link) fetched dozens of links including commercial and free version. You please go through the links and choose one.

You can try the Survey™ Project at http://www.surveyproject.info . Survey is a free and open source web based survey and form engine toolkit for Microsoft's .net. written in asp.net and C#. It should match your needs.
