System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
using (System.IO.StringWriter sw = new System.IO.StringWriter(sb))
using (System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter hw = new System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter(sw))
{
    mycontrol.RenderControl(hw);
}

You have to actually call it's .RenderMethod, and pass in a HtmlTextWriter, and get the contents from that.
