Creating HTML File in Console Application using C# and VB.Net

Inside the Main method, the captured value of Name is wrapped into an HTML Table string and then using the WriteAllText method of the File class, the HTML string is written to an HTML File and finally, the HTML File is saved in a Folder (Directory).

C#

static void Main(string[] args)

{

    Console.WriteLine("Enter Name:");

    string name = Console.ReadLine();

 

    //Table start.

    string html = "<table cellpadding='5' cellspacing='0' style='border: 1px solid #ccc;font-size: 9pt;font-family:arial'>";

 

    //Adding HeaderRow.

    html += "<tr>";

    html += "<th style='background-color: #B8DBFD;border: 1px solid #ccc'>Name</th>";

    html += "</tr>";

 

    //Adding DataRow.

    html += "<tr>";

    html += "<td style='width:120px;border: 1px solid #ccc'>" + name + "</td>";

    html += "</tr>";

 

    //Table end.

    html += "</table>";

 

    //Create the HTML file.

    File.WriteAllText(@"E:\Files\Console.htm", html);

 

    Console.WriteLine("HTML File created.");

    Console.ReadLine();

}

VB.Net

Sub Main()

    Console.WriteLine("Enter Name:")

    Dim name As String = Console.ReadLine()

 

    'Table start.

    Dim html As String = "<table cellpadding='5' cellspacing='0' style='border: 1px solid #ccc;font-size: 9pt;font-family:arial'>"

 

    'Adding HeaderRow.

    html &= "<tr>"

    html &= "<th style='background-color: #B8DBFD;border: 1px solid #ccc'>Name</th>"

    html &= "</tr>"

    'Adding DataRow.

    html &= "<tr>"

    html &= "<td style='width:120px;border: 1px solid #ccc'>" & name & "</td>"

    html &= "</tr>"

    'Table end.

    html &= "</table>"

    'Create the HTML file.

    File.WriteAllText("E:\Files\Console.htm", html)

 

    Console.WriteLine("HTML File created.")

    Console.ReadLine()

End Sub
