[Mono-list] Capturing a Controls Rendered Html

[Chris Day]

The code below should work, but the control may have to be added to a
page otherwise it may throw exceptions.

MemoryStream stream =3D new MemoryStream();
StreamWriter writer =3D new StreamWriter(stream, Encoding.Unicode);
HtmlTextWriter output =3D new HtmlTextWriter(writer);
yourcontrol.RenderControl(output);
output.Flush();
stream.Position =3D 0;
string outputStr =3D New StreamReader(stream, =
Encoding.Unicode).ReadToEnd;
