Merge HTML into an existing asp.net page

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have a method in a separate class which returns a string. This string actually has a HTML in it (Head, body, etc). I am retrieving this string in one of the method in my code behind and I want this html to merge into the current existing HTML and ASP.Net (.aspx file) and display the contents on the returned string (HTML) in the current page creating a new div or some other good method. If some one has any idea related to this, please help. Ask for any further information in case you need to get a clear understanding.

Thanks

    {
        protected string s;
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            s = "<input value=\"some value\">";
        }
        protected void btnClick_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
        }
    }
}

Good luck;

If the page is a full page, I assume you want to just extract the body content. Probably the simplest way to do this would be to just parse the content out between the <body> </body> tags.

[Edit]
The OP wanted information on how to accomplish this. Well, one way would be to use XML to select the body node from the HTML (assuming it's in a well formed XML document), and select the InnerText. You could then write this content out into a literal control.

This could be read in like:

C#

XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument();
document.Load(...); // This is where you'd load the XHTML in.
var node = document.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("/html/body");
string text = node.InnerText;

// Now, populate the ASP.NET literal control.
litContent.Text = text;
