(.NET 2.0, C#, VS 2005)

Hi,

I have a string representing a web page file.

I want to convert the string into an object to navigate through it's
elements.

I tried XmlDocument but I get a parsing error on the string...

Thanks

you need an HtmlParser. .net does not supply one other than hosting IE (not
recommended for an asp.net site).

google HtmlParser for the toolkit of your choice. (most are in java though)

Look into Simon Mourier's HtmlAgilityPack. It provides an XML-DOM like
HtmlDocument class that does what Bruce said. Find it on codeplex.com
