I am populating a GridView from a dataset. In the RowDataBound event I check various variables and, for example, set the rowspan and colspan of various cells - add borders - make some cells bold etc.

I need to get the html generated for the gridview (table) into a stringbuilder expression. Any ideas how to do this. I have a div surrounding the table - but if I write:

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.Append(dv.InnerHtml);

I am told 'Cannot get inner content of dvScroll because the contents are not literal'.

I just need to get the html for the table - as the form it is in when sent to the browser - into a string.

Yes, I did look at that ... but it doesn't really do what I'm after. I want the whole of the html for a table. – Martin Smellworse May 22 '15 at 16:30

_Why_ to you need the raw HTML? There may be another way of getting what you need without having to extract the rendered HTML. – D Stanley May 22 '15 at 16:40
