Question

I have this page: www.unnu.com/music-artists

need to retrieve this complete list of all the artists and their links.

HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument htmlDoc = new HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument();

            // There are various options, set as needed
            htmlDoc.OptionFixNestedTags = true;

            // filePath is a path to a file containing the html
            htmlDoc.Load("http://www.unnu.com/music-artists");

            // Use:  htmlDoc.LoadHtml(xmlString);  to load from a string (was htmlDoc.LoadXML(xmlString)

            // ParseErrors is an ArrayList containing any errors from the Load statement
            if (htmlDoc.ParseErrors != null && htmlDoc.ParseErrors.Count() > 0)
            {
                // Handle any parse errors as required

            }
            else
            {

                if (htmlDoc.DocumentNode != null)
                {
                    HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlNode bodyNode = htmlDoc.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//a");

                    if (bodyNode != null)
                    {
                        listBox1 = ????//this is not working, do not know if the code is correct and just missing here or is this all wrong.
                    }
                }
            }

I am not sure what you want to do here, but if just want to download and read the html file. you need WebClient web = new WebClient(); web.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri("www.unnu.com/music-artists")); web.DownloadStringCompleted += web_DownloadStringCompleted;

void web_DownloadStringCompleted(object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e) { string HtmlPage = e.Result; }
