My ASP.Net (VB.Net) app needs to display a filled in form to a web
user from the following:

a) read HTML form files (not ascx) dynamically from disk (e.g.
form.html)
b) read its corresponding submitted values from disk (e.g. form.xml)

The form data should be merged back into the HTML form so that when
displayed to the user, the form looks exactly like it did the moment
before
they clicked the form's Submit button.

Any ideas on an approach would be great appreciated.

(I've received some input about how to do it by converting forms into
ascx and programmatically stepping through the controls collection,
but unfortunately, in this case, forms will be standard HTML and not
.Net.

Thanks for any insights!
