Answer 1

This appears to work.

public string RenderControlToHtml(Control ControlToRender)
{
    System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
    System.IO.StringWriter stWriter = new System.IO.StringWriter(sb);
    System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter htmlWriter = new System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter(stWriter);
    ControlToRender.RenderControl(htmlWriter);
    return sb.ToString();
}
