Hi,

I have the source codes (html codes) of a web page in a string variable. I just want to get a DOM tree of those html codes. I used HtmlDocument class and it has HtmlElement-s but it seems it's not tree structured. And I don't know how to use HtmlDocument.DomDocument (MSDN didn't help).

I just need to do this in c# using .Net frame work:

// string SourceWeb = <html codes of a web page.>
1) Getting a DOM tree from SourceWeb.
2) Access to the Root of this DOM tree.
3) Access to children of Root (or other nodes).

I want to traverse the tree manually, instead of getting elements by Id or TagName or something like that.

Thank you.
