What are the tools/sdks available to aid in HTML generation?

I want to write a C# program which can generate a series of HTML pages based on some data grabbed from an external database. Are there any .NET based SDK which enables me to do the HTML generation? Maybe I am searching on the wrong keywords, but can't seem to find a simplistic, comprehensive answer to this. Just wonder开发者_运维技巧ing as well, is the Google Web Toolkit an answer to my problem IF I use Java instead? Thanks for your help.

In general, I would avoid server-side HTML generation, and opt for client-side templates.

There are many options when it comes to client-side templating, but jquery-tmpl is becoming a the standard template engine for jQuery.

If you want this to tie into your data easily, consider using MVC3 with Knockout.js, as demonstrated here: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/MIX/MIX11/FRM08
