C# - Web App: How to get DesignTimeHTML() from a web control loaded with LoadControl?

[psc1973]

Hi, I think the title says it all but basically I want to get the HTML the designer would retrieve using GetDesignTimeHT ML() but can't work out how to get to it. The control is loaded dynamically using LoadControl,

eg.

Control c = Page.LoadContro l("Controls/Test1.ascx");
ViewRendering vr =ControlDesigne r.GetViewRender ing(c);

TIA.

Try using the control's ClientID property.
Eg
c.ClientID should return the string of the name for the control

Sorry, I think you misunderstand. I am trying to get the design time HTML of the control, this is the HTML used in the IDE to represent the control at design time.

You're right, I miss read the question. I didn't realize you were working with Design Time...most people usually work with Run Time problems.

Could you please explain what exactly you are trying to do?
