Creating Dynamic HTML File - using windows C# application.

I wrote a small sample for u, this is for a web application

            String strPath="c:";
            String strFile="Temp.html";

            private void SaveHTML_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
            {
                  StreamWriter strmEditWrite;

                  //delete the file if exists
                  File.Delete(strPath + strFile);

                  //create the file with new text
                  strmEditWrite = File.CreateText(strPath + "\\" + strFile);
                  //notice what i am passing to strmEditWrite.Write() it could be a string variable instead of TextField
                  strmEditWrite.Write(TextBox1.Text);
                  strmEditWrite.Close();
            }

_TAD_> Quick and dirty example (hope it's not too confusing):

1. Create a new Windows application in Visual C# .NET.
2. Click View, and then click Toolbox.
3. Right-click the Toolbox to bring up the Customize Toolbox dialog box. On the COM components tab, click to select the Microsoft Web Browser check box, and then click OK.
4. Add the WebBrowser control to the form.
5. In Solution Explorer, right-click the References folder and select Add Reference.
The Add Reference dialog box opens.

6. Click on the .NET tab and double-click the component named Microsoft.mshtml.
7. Click OK.
8. Add the following to the "using declarations": using mshtml;
9. Add the following event handler declaration to InitializeComponent:
this.axWebBrowser1.DocumentComplete += new AxSHDocVw.DWebBrowserEvents2_DocumentCompleteEventHandler(this.axWebBrowser1_DocumentComplete);
10. Add the following to the Form1_Load function:
object oEmpty = "";
axWebBrowser1.Navigate("about:blank", ref oEmpty, ref oEmpty, ref oEmpty, ref oEmpty);
11. Create the following function for the event handler declared in step 9:
private void axWebBrowser1_DocumentComplete(object sender, AxSHDocVw.DWebBrowserEvents2_DocumentCompleteEvent e)
{
      IHTMLDocument2 iDoc = (IHTMLDocument2)axWebBrowser1.Document;
      iDoc.write("<script language=\"javascript\">function test() { alert('Hello.'); }</script>");
      iDoc.write("<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"test();\">Hello</a>");
}

The footprint for this is no worse then IE itself, so as for overhead, "six in one hand, half dozen in the other". You end up with an IE browser that you can access with code directly. I've done DHTML, CSS, and javascript with this.

For purposes of this thread (jksugu original question), I usually create functions to return a string of HTML and simply pass the HTML to the control. Then when the user is satisfied, open a Stream and call the same HTML generating function to save the HTML to a file.

The actual API is huge, so there are LOTS of possibilities here; you're only limited by what knowledge of COM you have.

Good luck,
