Calling a class to get output via Response.Wrtie

[ehx6]

aspx coce :
---------------------
Private Sub btnTestOutputFromAspx_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnTestOutputFromAspx.Click
Dim Name As String = "Bob"
Response.Write(Name)
End Sub

Private Sub btnbtnTestOutputFromClass_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnbtnTestOutputFromClass.Click
Dim MyCode As New CodeLibrary
MyCode.TestOutputDll("Test Output from a class")
End Sub
class code:
-----------------
Public Sub TestOutputDll(ByVal Name As String)
Response.Write(Name)
End Sub

I am not sure if I am not suppose to use Response.Write from within a class and I should get the value back to the aspx page as a return value then I do the following
Dim ReturnValue as string
Dim MyCode As New CodeLibrary
ReturnValue = MyCode.TestOutputDll
Response.Write ReturnValue

So which is the correct way . I am talking here concept issue. I am new to class programming and would like to learn the right way of doing things.
thanks

Not sure what you're trying to do. In your other post I showed you how to access the Response object. As a rule though:
If you need to write to the output stream use the HtmlTextWriter class instead of the Response object from within your class.

Hi Veep,What is the namespace for HtmlTextWriter
I found System.Text ,but does not have what you mentioned.
Thanks

As always, Google is your friend.

The number one hit for "HtmlTextWriter" is the MSDN documentation, which shows that it's in the System.Web.UI namespace.
