render textfile

[Alexander Widera]

Hi,

how can i render a (text-)file with asp-serverside-tags (and html-tags)? I
want to load this file in my page and render it.

thanks a lot,
alex

You can either load the file content into one of html or server controls or
get the client to download and open it with the associated application.

In the first case choice of a control depends on what you are planning the
user to do with the file content.

The file on the server should be a template. for example the content is:
" <p> my text is: <%# mytext%> </p> "

And this should be parsed and rendered and be shown on the sceen. Have you
an example? Or the name of the method?

It's not very difficult. Use the System.IO classes to read the file in
(I like StreamReader myself), then use String.Replace to replace the
template's values, and then in the Page_Load event, use for example an
Asp:Label to render the text.

HTH,

Page.LoadTemplate

You can load a template and use it with a template-supporting control:

DataList1.AlternatingItemTemplate = LoadTemplate("newtemplate.ascx");
