[MonoTouch] UIWebView load from string

[Craig Dunn]

I've just tapped this out in email - so it may not compile...

// load and save the html string (in /Documents/ folder)
var documentsDirectory = Environment.GetFolderPath
(Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal);
var htmlPath = Path.Combine (documentsDirectory, "cached.html");

Uri uri = new Uri("http://somesite.com/default.html");
WebClient wc = new WebClient();
try
{
   wc.DownloadFile (uri, htmlPath); // saves to filesystem
}
catch (Exception ex) {Console.Write("oops");}

// then load
var htmlString = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(htmlPath);
// and display
webView.LoadHtmlString(htmlString, null);

of course you will want to split up these two pieces of code...
