Thanks for the kind words! And I like your solution, less code!

I’m going to keep your other comment, because I’m not sure if anything was stripped out now that I’m looking at it. Plus it gives good context to other viewers that we don’t need another delegate.

Good Job!

Thanks.

Very elegant generic wrapper, thanks.

I replaced the InitializeControlDelegate with Action in order to avoid declaring the delegate.


public static string RenderUserControl(string ControlPath, Action InitControlAction) where T : UserControl
{
System.Web.UI.Page pageHolder = new Page();
T ControlToRender = (T)pageHolder.LoadControl(ControlPath);
pageHolder.Controls.Add(ControlToRender);
InitControlAction(ControlToRender);
StringWriter result = new StringWriter();
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.Execute(pageHolder, result, false);
return result.ToString();
}


Thanks for the feedback, it is really cool that you got use out of it. It makes it worth writing the post!
