How can I retrieve a label's inner text before an input element?

The basic concept here is to get the labels whose for attribute matches the id of the associated input.

So, we cycle through the labels first and record the label's text in a dictionary that is keyed by the for value, then we cycle through the inputs and if the id of the input is in the dictionary, we retrieve the value from the dictionary (which is the label text) and show it.

Note that I have also modified how the data is collected to be more efficient (almost any time you concatenate strings, you should use stringbuilder).

Here's the rewritten code:

    Dim web As HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlWeb = New HtmlWeb()
    Dim doc As HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument = web.Load("http://shaggybevo.com/board/register.php")
    Dim nodes As HtmlNodeCollection

    ' Keeps track of the labels by the associated control id
    Dim labelText As New System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary(Of String, String)

    ' First, get the labels
    nodes = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//label")

    If nodes IsNot Nothing Then
        For Each node In nodes
            If node.Attributes.Contains("for") Then
                Dim sFor As String

                ' Extract the for value
                sFor = node.Attributes("for").Value

                ' If it does not exist in our dictionary, add it
                If Not labelText.ContainsKey(sFor) Then
                    labelText.Add(sFor, node.InnerText)
                End If
            End If
        Next
    End If

    nodes = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//input")

    Dim sbText As New System.Text.StringBuilder(500)

    If nodes IsNot Nothing Then
        For Each node In nodes
            ' See if this input is associated with a label
            If labelText.ContainsKey(node.Id) Then
                ' If it is, add it to our collected information
                sbText.Append("Label = ").Append(labelText(node.Id))
                sbText.Append(", Id = ").Append(node.Id)

                sbText.AppendLine()
            End If
        Next
    End If

    Form2.RichTextBox1.Text = sbText.ToString
    Form2.Show()
