Accepted Answer
Don't select a single node in that case.
You are using SelectSingleNode, which will return only one node.
Use SelectNodes instead:
var varmyclass = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//div[@class='myclass']");

Two issues, first one is that you should be using SelectNodes() instead as the other answers have pointed out since you want to select multiple nodes.
Also, your XPath is a bit restrictive. It will only get div elements which has only one class, myclass but doesn't include those that have multiple classes. I suspect you want to include those as well. Rather than checking if the class is equal, check if it contains it.
var xpath = "//div[contains(@class,'myclass')]";
var query = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes(xpath);
