Question

I wanted to remove the review section content from XML response I received from the goodreads api and display it.
It seems like its an Iframe.
SO any idea how to do this ??

I was able to get the answer for this, though its just a simple solution ; may break 🙁
But will work temporarily.

            Label lb2 = new Label();
            string st = html;

            int stindex, endindex;
            string subst;
            stindex = st.IndexOf("<iframe");
            endindex = st.IndexOf("</iframe>") + 9;
            int lin = st.LastIndexOf("</iframe>") + 9;
            while ((endindex <= lin) && (stindex > 0))
            {
                subst = st.Substring(stindex, endindex - stindex);
                lb2.Text = subst;
                PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(lb2);
                st = st.Substring(endindex);
                stindex = st.IndexOf("<iframe");
                endindex = st.IndexOf("</iframe>") + 9;
            }
