I'm trying to get all the tables from a website. Then go through all the

XML

<td></td>

nodes.
for some reason the foreach loop gets the same dates from every single loop it goes through.

the HTML looks something like this.

XML

<table>
 <tr> 
<td class=t>1.10</td><td class=t>2.10</td><td class=t>3.10</td><td class=t>4.10</td><td class=t>5.10</td><td class=t>6.10</td>
</tr>
</table>

C#

HtmlNodeCollection weeks = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//table");
            foreach(HtmlNode week in weeks)
            {
                HtmlNodeCollection tempdate = week.SelectNodes("//td[@class='t']");
                for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++)
                {
                    dates[i] = tempdate[i].InnerText;
                }                
            }

Your logic looks off.

HtmlNodeCollection weeks = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//table");
            foreach(HtmlNode week in weeks)
            {
                HtmlNodeCollection tempdate = week.SelectNodes("//td[@class='t']");
                for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++)
                {
                    dates[i] = tempdate[i].InnerText;
                }                
            }

In your code, every inner loop you loop through is just resetting the dates[] values when it loops through another HTMLNode (outer loop).

What do you intend to do with dates[]
