I have a short snippet of C# code like this:

HtmlGenericControl titleH3 = new HtmlGenericControl("h3");
titleH3.Attributes.Add("class", "accordion");

HtmlAnchor titleAnchor = new HtmlAnchor();
titleAnchor.HRef = "#";
titleAnchor.InnerText = "Foo Bar";
titleH3.Controls.Add(titleAnchor);

What I want is a way to return a string that looks like this:

<h3 class="accordion"><a href="#">Foo Bar</a></h3>

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
