I generate a html page with HTMLTextWriter. At one point I do need some information, which I haven't yet. I will get them later. It is not possible to workaround and to get the information earlier.

Is there a way, how I can jump back as soon as I get the information and add the missing items?

All classes that inherit from System.IO.TextWriter are specifically for writing a sequential series of characters or other information.

So, basically no, there isn't a way to jump backwards in one of these classes.

You would likely use an XElement instance to create your HTML, and then use the XElement.Save(TextWriter) method to write it to the writer once complete.
