Output buffering in ASP.NET MVC

While working with PHP I used output buffer as a way to "combine" multiple method outputs and ex. write buffet to a file.

Example:

ob_start();
print $foo->bar();
print $anotherFoo->anotherBar();
$output= ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
file_put_contents("output.html",$output);

Is there an equivalent in C#?

Are you wanting this for WebForms or for MVC? – Katie Kilian Oct 14 '14 at 15:00
Sorry that's for MVC. – Chris Hermut Oct 14 '14 at 15:02

What you want to do is first write the output to a string. Then you can write that string to a file, which is trivial. The trick is getting the string in the first place. See this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/483091/render-a-view-as-a-string – Katie Kilian Oct 14 '14 at 15:05
