Web Forms :: Base.Render Does Not Write To HtmlTextWriterObject?

I'm trying to setup some simple custom HTTP handlers which will render an aspx page to a string builder and then write the result to the HTTPResponse. My problem is that when I call base.Render(writer), the rendered page isn't written. Here is my code:

FROM THE HTTP HANDLER CLASS

public void ProcessRequest(System.Web.HttpContext ctx)
{
Home h = new Home(); //This is an instance of the ASPX Page I'm trying to render
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
System.IO.StringWriter sw = new System.IO.StringWriter(sb);

[Code]....

Everything is working as it should, when I debug it executes the proper methods and does not throw errors. I can use hw.Write("STRING") in the HTTP handler to write text to the Response which displays on the screen fine. Also, the aspx page itself renders fine when I don't use a custom handler, so there is no problem there. The base.Render just doesn't seem to want to render the page's contents. I've tried RenderControl as well, and the same thing happens. From Googling around, this should work.
