Question

I am using HtmlAgilityPack to grab a table from a web page.

HtmlWeb web = new HtmlWeb();
HtmlDocument doc = web.Load("http://test.com");

I am aware that HtmlWeb has a UserAgent property, however I have no idea how I am supposed to attach a user agent to the header of the httprequest.

HtmlWeb web = new HtmlWeb().UserAgent("asdf");

returns the error

Error   1   Non-invocable member 'HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlWeb.UserAgent' cannot be used like a method.

http://htmlagilitypack.codeplex.com/discussions HtmlAgilityPack support discussions appear as simply questions, but nobody on the other end to respond.

http://htmlagilitypack.codeplex.com/documentation There is NO documentation here yet.

http://htmlagilitypack.codeplex.com/downloads/get/437942 Tried downloading the documentation, to find that the chm file seems broken… I’m getting a Navigation to the webpage was cancelled error when I try to open anything within the chm documentation.

Answer 1

Just set the UserAgent property of the HtmlWeb object after instantiating it.

HtmlWeb web = new HtmlWeb();
web.UserAgent = "your useragent string here";
