strmEditWrite.Write() accepts a context for your html you could define a (String htmlVar) and pass to it
String htmlVar = "<html><head></head><body>
String htmlVar = "<html><head></head><body>
In case you are wondering how to open a new windown when a user clicks on a button which is a server control button you can do it in two ways in the click event of the Button Webcontrol register a script code block or add an attribute to your button webcontrol.
Example for you, this shows how you can add client side javascript to your server control button using first method:
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
//Button1 is a button id name
Button1.Attributes["onclic
}

From a windows platform (not asp)
using system.Diagnostics
ProcessStartInfo qOptions = new ProcessStartInfo(@"C:\Prog
qOptions.UseShellExecute = false; // set to true to make silent/background
Process myCmd = Process.Start(qOptions);
You said "windows c# application", so I'll assume you don't want an ASP.NET solution.
_TAD_'s solution is a good one, however if you don't want to launch an IE instance in a seperate process, you can embed a MSHTML object inside the application as a control for previewing your generated page.
If this sounds like what you want, I'll provide more information for you.

There are ways to open default browser instead of forcing Internet Explorer, however I find seeFlat's proposal very interesting, and from a programming architech point of view using seeFlat's proposal would be much more sound (provided that there isn't a ton of overhead).
seeFlat> If you have some code or web pages handy I'd like to take a peek at them. Currently a lot of things I do tend to use ProcessStartInfo and Process Classes. But if I can reign in some of those 3rd party tasks and pull them into the umbrella of .Net I think I'd be better off.

Creating a file from C# is pretty simple and outputting HTML is pretty simple also so can you ellaborate on precisely what problems/issues you have with coding this ?
