Menu
I'm working on a console application that's supposed to spit out an html document that contains a table and maybe some javascript.
I thought about writing the html by hand:
streamWriter.WriteLine("<html>");
streamWriter.WriteLine("<body>");
streamWriter.WriteLine(GetHtmlTable());
streamWriter.WriteLine("</body>");
streamWriter.WriteLine("</html>");
... but was wondering if there is a more elegant way to do it. Something along these lines:
Page page = new Page();
GridView gridView = new GridView();
gridView.DataSource = GetDataTable();
gridView.DataBind();
page.Controls.Add(gridView);
page.RenderControl(htmlWriter);
htmlWriter.Flush();
Assuming that I'm on the right track, what's the proper way to build the rest of the html document (ie: html, head, title, body elements) using the System.Web.UI.Page class? Do I need to use literal controls?

It would be a good idea for you to use a templating system to decouple your presentation and business logic.
Take a look at Razor Generator which allows the use of CSHTML templates within non ASP.NET applications.
