    Create ASP.Net Page Programatically

    I have 2 projects, a Web project and a Class Library project. In the class
    project, I have a class called Class1. Pseudo below:

    Class Class1
    ...
    Public Static Sub Generate()
    If True
    ' Create Page and display to user.
    End If
    End Sub
    End Class


    The ASPX page follows:

    Class MyASPXPage
    ...

    Public Sub Page_Load(...)
    MyClassProject. Class1.Generate ()
    End Sub
    End Class


    How can I make the Generate() method create a new aspx page with a web
    control (Button) that, when clicked, will execute the event handler stored
    in Class1? The new aspx page we want to be created does not exist on the
    web server. We want to create it ourselves and possibly store it as a
    resource in the Class Library project.

    Basically, we want to include this class in any of our WebUI projects and if
    certain criteria are met, this page would be loaded and prompt the user for
    input. We do not want to create a new web application out of it (which is
    what we are currently doing).

    Any and all help appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Mythran

      Mythran,

      There are 2 ways to use (create) ASPX pages scripting and with a DLL.
      I post this from the language.VB newsgroup where the DLL way is mostly used.
      In the ASPNET newsgroup you see often a lot of scripting solutions.

      The Scripting format is where is said in the header to use VB or C# script
      on the serverside and the DLL is where is told in the header use the class.

      In my opinion can you to get your solution very good use the scripting
      format.

      Have just a look at gotdotnet how to make a scripting page.

      That than dynamicly created page can you than in my idea place in the IIS
      directory as start of your goal.

      (Not that I tried this ever however this sound for me so obvious)

      I hope this helps?

          Mytrhan,

          I am not interested what you exactly want to do, however for me your first
          question was "how do I create a page on the fly" and on that I gave an
          answer. I am not making an solution for you.

          However to be sure if it was working, did I make this sample accoording to
          my previous message, and it showed me a simple page made on the fly. This
          will surely not fullfil al your needs quick reading your second page,
          however is exact as my answer.

          ///Needs one button on a webpage and than paste in this code in the code
          part
          Private Sub Button1_Click(B yVal sender As System.Object, _
          ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles Button1.Click
          Dim str As String = "<%@ Page Language='VB' %><html><head> " & _
          "</head><body><cen ter>" & _
          "<form><p>< %If Session.Item("" MyValue"") = ""Mythran"" then " &
          vbCrLf & _
          "Dim I As Integer" & vbCrLf & "For I = 0 to 7 %>" & vbCrLf & _
          "<font size='<%=I%>'> Welcome to ASP.NET </font> <br>" & vbCrLf & _
          "<% Next" & vbCrLf & _
          "End if%>" & vbCrLf & _
          "</form></center></body></html>"
          Dim sw As New
          IO.StreamWriter ("C:\Inetpub\ww wroot\WebApplic ation1\mytest.a spx")
          sw.Write(str)
          sw.Close()
          Session.Item("M yValue") = "Mythran"
          Response.Redire ct("mytest.aspx ")
          End Sub
          ///

          However if this is not what you want, than I probably don't understand you.

          I hope this helps?

              Ok, I see what you are talking about here....now I'm understanding where we
              are getting a little mis-understood. You are writing out an aspx page on
              the file to the server's disk. What I was wondering was if there was a way
              to create the page and send it to the client w/o writing it to the server's
              disk first. From there, it would post back and fire events in the dll that
              created the page...

              See where I'm heading now?

              Thanks :)

                  Mythran,

                  >What I was wondering was if there was a way to create the page and send it
                  >to the client w/o writing it to the server's disk first. From there, it

                  That is not any problem, you can redirect that page as a string (Not in the
                  way I showed you however in clear HTML). However, than you are loosing all
                  the functionality from the server. That was exactly why I wrote as extra too
                  the dotnet page sample that session functionality in it. Please try to
                  understand the answers first before you start typing.

                  However I don't see the problem. This is a sample, probably I would in a
                  real situation give it as page name a Guid and deleted it as soon as it was
                  redirected. However that I did not try, that kind of functionality you would
                  have to do yourself in my opinion or ask for it. As I said, I am not making
                  your solution, only giving some hints. And in this case an even very
                  extended hint.

                  I hope this helps?
