mvchtmlstring

I've got a partial view, i'm trying to use ITextSharp to convert the html to pdf. How can I convert the html to string so I can use ItextSharps HtmlParser? I've tried something like this with no luck...any ideas?: var contents = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(Url.Action("myPartial", "myController", new { id = 1 }, "http")); I have created a special ViewResult class that you can return as the result of an Action. You can see the code on bitbucket (look at the PdfFromHtmlResult class). So what it basically does is: Render the view through the Razor engine (or any other registered engine) to Html

I have some doubts about how to concatenate MvcHtmlString instances because of this information found in MSDN : MvcHtmlString Class Represents an HTML-encoded string that should not be encoded again Do I risk that strings are HTML-encoded twice when using code like this: var label = Html.LabelFor(model => model.Email); var textbox = Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Email); var validation = Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Email); var result = MvcHtmlString.Create( label.ToString() + textbox.ToString() + validation.ToString()); (note: this is supposed to go into an HtmlHelper extension
