Server.Execute sluggish, faster way to retrieve HTML string?

Hi,

I need to retrieve the HTML string of one of my ASP pages, and whenever I make the attempt using my code, it brings the entire server to a hault for quite a while. The server's hardware specs are perfectly fine, and I've narrowed it down to the Server.Execute line. Is there anything I can do here? Here's my code:

StringWriter sw =new StringWriter();Server.Execute("page.aspx", sw);String strHtmlCode = sw.GetStringBuilder().ToString();

Thanks!

Use HttpWebRequest/HttpWebResponse:

//using System.Net;
//using System.IO;
static string GetHtmlPage(string strURL)
{

String strResult;
WebResponse objResponse;
WebRequest objRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create(strURL);
objResponse = objRequest.GetResponse();
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(objResponse.GetResponseStream()))
{
strResult = sr.ReadToEnd();
sr.Close();
}
return strResult;
}

String strHtmlCode = GetHtmlPage("http://domain/page.aspx");

This may be because page.aspx may be huge page and it will take long time in processing. Because of this, your current page execution will stop:)

I apologize - I should have been more clear on the context here. A session needs to be maintained in order to access this page. Is there anything else I can use? And believe me, I've tried googling :). I'm sure it's out there somewhere, but I can't seem to find it.

Will this do you?

That'll do it, thanks!
