Html Agility Pack - loop through rows and columns

c# html-agility-pack

Question

I am just getting involved on parsing some html files using C# language and HtmlAgilityPack.

I am trying to get for each row the two columns values to insert them into a database. But running the following:

foreach (HtmlNode row in htmlDoc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//tr"))
    {
    foreach (HtmlNode cell in row.SelectNodes("//td"))
    {
    Console.WriteLine(cell.InnerText);
    }
    }

I got an error as I loop over all the td and not only the ones includes in the current tr.

My html looks like this:

<table>
        <tr>            
            <th align="center" width="50"><b>column 1</b></th>          
            <th align="center" width="210"><b>column 2</b></th>                 

        </tr>   



            <tr bgcolor="#ffffff">
                <td align="left"> </td>             
                <td align="left"></td>                          

            </tr>   


            <tr bgcolor="#dddddd">
                <td align="left"> </td>             
                <td align="left"></td>                          

            </tr>   


            <tr bgcolor="#ffffff">
                <td align="left"> </td>             
                <td align="left"></td>                          

            </tr>

maybe this

var rows = doc.DocumentNode
              .SelectNodes("//tr")
              .Select((z, i) => new
                  {
                    RowNumber = i,
                    Cells = z.ChildNodes.Where(c => c.NodeType == HtmlNodeType.Element) })
              .ToList();

rows.ForEach(row => Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", row.RowNumber, string.Join(", ", row.Cells.Select(z => z.InnerText))));
