Display XDocument on a MasterPage

I have a MasterPage created using asp.net in C#. This contains my menus and so forth. I dynamically create an XDocument. Then I use:

Response.Write(outputDoc);

to display my XDocument as a webpage. It displays as expected, but it overwrites my MasterPage. I really want to put outputDoc in a container on my MasterPage but I can't find a way to do it.

I am completely lost on this. I must be using the wrong terminology, or trying to do this the completely wrong way because I can't find anything remotely relevant using Google.

Thanks for any assistance.

Solution

Maybe you can use the Literal control and set its content to the content of your outputDoc XDocument

Code for .aspx page

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:Literal ID="Literal1" runat="server" />
        <asp:Literal ID="Literal2" runat="server" />
        <asp:Literal ID="Literal3" runat="server" />
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

Code for .aspx.cs page

using System;
using System.Configuration;

using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Xml.Linq;

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Literal1.Mode = LiteralMode.Encode;
        Literal2.Mode = LiteralMode.PassThrough;
        Literal3.Mode = LiteralMode.Transform;

        Literal1.Text = @"<font size=4 color=red>Literal1 with Encode property example</font><script>alert(""Literal1 with the Encode property"");</script></br></br>";

        Literal2.Text = @"<font size=4 color=green>Literal2 with PassThrough property example</font><script>alert(""Literal2 with the PassThrough property"");</script></br></br>";

        Literal3.Text = @"<font size=4 color=blue>Literal3 with Encode Transform example</font><script>alert(""Literal3 with the Transform property"");</script></br></br>";
    }
}
