Gridview RenderControl

P

Philip

I need to capture the HTML output from a Gridview control....so I am
executing the following code...

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(sb);
HtmlTextWriter htw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
MyGridview.RenderControl(htw);


This technique works fine with many controls, however with the Gridview I
get the following HttpException...

"...MyGridview of type "Gridview" must be placed inside a form tag with
runat=server.

Of course....it is placed inside of a form tag.... I am simply trying to
capture the rendered HTML output beforehand.

Can you suggest an alternative, why this works with other controls ?....

Thanks
