{
    public partial class EyeCatchCSVGenerator : System.Web.UI.UserControl
    {
        public int Source { get; set; }
  
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
  
            Node source = new Node(Source);
  
            HtmlTableRow r = new HtmlTableRow();
            HtmlTableCell c1 = new HtmlTableCell();
            HtmlTableCell c2 = new HtmlTableCell();
            c1.InnerHtml = "Name: " + source.Name;
            c2.InnerHtml = "ID:" + source.Id;
  
            r.Cells.Add(c1);
            r.Cells.Add(c2);
            sourcenode.Rows.Add(r);
