HTML table into memory stream

I’m currently working on an asp.net page using C#. This page contains a button and once you click you will get a small HTML table with a name of person, cell phone number and email address. What I want to do is in code behind capture this HTML table along with its data in memory stream or other type of streams in order to do some operations. Here's my code

<table id="tb" runat="server">
        <tr> 
            <td> Name </td>
            <td> <asp:Label ID="lblName" runat="server" ></asp:Label>  </td>
        </tr>
         <tr> 
            <td> Phone </td>
            <td> <asp:Label ID="lblPhone" runat="server" ></asp:Label>  </td>
        </tr>
         <tr> 
            <td> Email </td>
            <td> <asp:Label ID="lblEmail" runat="server" ></asp:Label>  </td>
        </tr>
     </table>

So please, if anyone could help of how to accomplish this process and I will be so thankful

Well although I don't really understand why do you want to do that, you can do this pretty simply, you have to put id and runat server tag at your table, and you already have that, and then render this control to string :

markup:

<form id="form1" runat="server">
  <table id="tb" runat="server">
    <tr> 
        <td> Name </td>
        <td> <asp:Label ID="lblName" runat="server" ></asp:Label>  </td>
    </tr>
     <tr> 
        <td> Phone </td>
        <td> <asp:Label ID="lblPhone" runat="server" ></asp:Label>  </td>
    </tr>
     <tr> 
        <td> Email </td>
        <td> <asp:Label ID="lblEmail" runat="server" ></asp:Label>  </td>
    </tr>
  </table> 

  <hr />
  Rendered table :
  <hr />
  <asp:Label ID="lblRenderedTable" runat="server"></asp:Label>
  <hr />

</form>

code behind:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

  lblName.Text = "User Name";
  lblEmail.Text = "[email protected]";
  lblPhone.Text = "555-4214";

  StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
  StringWriter tw = new StringWriter(sb);
  HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(tw);
  tb.RenderControl(hw);
  string tableContents = sb.ToString();

  lblRenderedTable.Text = tableContents;
}
