.NET Forum / .NET Framework / General / January 2005HTML Parser
Does Microsft provide any HTML Parser that could search me the img/src attribute and others similar to it? If not, are there any third party tools available? mshtml http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/browser/hosting/host ing.asp I hope this helps a little bit? Cor Thanks Cor. That was of great help. Do we have similar facility available with .NET libraries? Or can we convert HTML to XML and then XMLReader for the same? -Ocean > mshtml > http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/browser/hosting/host ing.asp > I hope this helps a little bit? > > Cor Silent, The big difference between HTML and XML is that the first has W3C defined tags while the last has user defined tags (direct or using a schema). MSHTML is directly to use in dotNet when you reference that in .Net as Microsoft.Mshtml. Use it without a Using/Import, because of the endless interfaces your IDE will probably almost freeze when you don't do that. I hope this was the information you were looking for.

Its not that big, its just big enough , but XHTML is trying to bridge the gap: XHTML 1.0 The Extensible HyperText Markup Language (Second Edition) http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/ Under section 4 you can find the main obstacles for treating HTML 4.0 as an XML document: - XML documents must be well formed - Attribute values must be quoted. etc. It should be possible to load an XHTML document into an XmlDocument and then use XPath to select all the image nodes.

There is an Open Source (W3C license) utility "HTML Tidy" http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/ http://tidy.sourceforge.net/ which can generate XHTML from HTML. So it should be possible to "pre-process" (reasonable) HTML input and then work with the resulting output as an XML document (and benefit from all the other XML related functionality).
