How to generate HTML from a winform (c#) application

Question

I need to create a log file containing HTML (tables, etc). It seems that HtmlTextWriter is not supported in plain winforms applications, it is intended for ASP.NET. Is this in fact the case, and if so, what classes are available to generate HTML? I was trying to use FileStream/StreamWriter but it chokes on "illegal characters".

Answer 1

HtmlTextWriter is available to WinForms apps, just not by default. You have to add a reference to System.Web in the WinForms project to be able to use it.
