email the contents of the contentplaceholder in a masterpage

[mrmanju_2007]

I am building a website using asp.net and c#. I am using the
masterpage concept. I have to implement a feature where I have to send
all the contents of the contentplaceholder thru email. I know how to
send the mail but i'm not able to get the contents which i need to
send. Can anyone please give some tips as to how to go about this
asap.
Thanks in advance.........

getting placeholder contents

remember when the assembled page makes it to the client, there isn't anything about a contentplaceholder in the code. You might already know this but here is a partial solution:

add a ContentPlaceHolder property to the Master page code behind.

Public ContentPlaceHolder contentPage
get{return this.ContentPlaceHolder1;}

Add the preprocessor directive to the top of the Content page.

<%@ MasterType VirtualPath="~/Master1.master" %>

access content place holder using Master.contentPage.

ContentPlaceHolder ph = Master.contentPage;

Now maybe someone can help or you might know how to get ContentPlaceholder contents into message body.

just remember, its only a partial page, not complete html.

Hi

Check it out

private string renderControl(Control ctrl)
{
System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
System.IO.StringWriter tw = new System.IO.StringWriter(sb);
System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter hw = new
System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter(tw);
ctrl.RenderControl(hw);
return sb.ToString();
}

Best of luck
