open webpage (or snapshot of webpage) into another webpage though vb.net

Question

i have an aspx page with vb.net back end. in that page i get names and url's from the database depending on different conditions. My requirement is that when i get the url, the code should then use that url and have that webpage in a small preview form on my existing aspx page. so basically i have a table as follows -

Name URL Preview-URL Sandy www.myspace.com/sandy -- should be the url webpage in specified height and width. Mandy www.myspace.com/mandy -- should be the url webpage in specified height and width.

does anyone know how i can achieve this?

Answer 1

You can create small url previews by using the iFrame tag. Let's say you have an asp:PlaceHolder control called "iframePlaceholder" in your aspx. In your code behind you could do something like:

Dim iframeControl As New LiteralControl("<iframe src=""www.myspace.com/mandy"" width=""100px"" height=""300px"">")
iframePlaceholder.Controls.Add(iframeControl)
