Modifying Generated Html Source of a web control

[mateobus]

Hey All,

I am using a third party control for my web page. I do not have the source code to the DLL. I need to make a very small change the html that the control generates. Is there a way to capture the html generated by the control, and then render the control with that small change.

I can override the render method of the parent control, is there a way in that method to find out the html that the control generates in there and render it with the small change?



Thanks ahead of time!

Since we have no information about this control, it's hard to help. You will have to either get support from the vendor, or play around with the control to see what methods, properties and events it exposes to you.

You could also use a Response Filter to alter the HTML prior to it being sent to the client:

Make sure that if you use this method that it has no adverse effect on the functionality of the user control though.
