Response.write in UserCOntrol

[Peter Aitken]

In my usercontrol I want to use response.write in code behind to write HTML
to the page. However it outputs at the top of the page and I want the output
at the bottom, beneath the controls. How can I do this? Or is there a better
way than response.write to do what I want?

use an asp:Label control, then populate it, that's what it's for.

I don't think so - I need to write HTML with headings, tables, etc.

All HTML in an ASP.Net page is objects on the server at runtime (yes, even
"static" HTML). ASP.Net is object-oriented. Response.Write is procedural.
For this reason, a Page is populated by creating objects and placing them in
its Controls Collection. The properties of the objects create the HTML in
the page.

Thanks. I discovered that I can do what I want by including the following
tag on the page:

<span id="report" runat="server"></span>

Then including this code in the code behind:

report.innerHTML="whatever"

that's no different then an asp:Label in the end.
