Question

I want to copy all visible text from WebBrowser.

Clipboard.SetText(WebBrowser1.Document.Body.InnerText)

This code is working, but it's also getting text between <div style="display:none"> and </div>, which i don't want (i want only text that is visible when i manually go to that website).

Accepted Answer

This works for me against google.com. This is mostly a translation of the c# version of the same question mentioned in the comments above. 

    Dim text As String
    WebBrowser1.Document.ExecCommand("SelectAll", False, Nothing)
    WebBrowser1.Document.ExecCommand("Copy", False, Nothing)
    text = Clipboard.GetText()
    MessageBox.Show(text, "Text")

You can use the .../text()... option to get all text nodes directly under a specific tag. If you only need the first one, add ...[1]... to it:...page.LoadHtml(text); var s = page.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//div[@id='div1']//div[@class='h1']/text()[1]"); string selText = s.InnerText;
