Get Html from a Url in ASP.NET MVC

Question

I need to save a page from url - This page is in my own application - in html format. This html will then be send by email to a user. Any anyone knows how?

Answer 1

Well, you'll have to do it at the server to be able to e-mail - so at worst, simply:

using(WebClient client = new WebClient()) {
    string html = client.DownloadString(address);
}

It might also be possible to do it directly within MVC - perhaps RenderPartial?

Answer 2

You could create a Result Filter or override the OnResultExecuted method of the controller to get access to the rendered page.
