Using HtmlTextWriter to Render Server Controls?

I work on an application where the developers followed the horrible path you're exploring. This harkens back to the days when you had to write your own ISAPI dlls that spit out html code. It is a constant headache to work in.

If your code is mostly strings, then something is wrong.

Performance-wise, this will require more string copies to be done. HtmlTextWriter writes directly to the output buffer. StringBuilder on the other hand, has its own buffer.

When you call ToString on the StringBuilder, a new string has to be built and then it will be written to the output buffer by output.Write. It requires much more work to be done.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
