Question

I’d like to find out what element type I got in my loop when using htmlagility 1.4

I got this simple table

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>
      <h2>Title1</h2>
      <p>Text...</p>
      <h2>Title2</h2>
      <p>More Text...</p>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

I load it with

HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
doc.LoadHtml(tableString);
HtmlNode node = doc.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//table/tr/td/*");
foreach (var infoNode in node)
{
    // Print the actual element type
    Console.WriteLine(infoNode.InnerText.Trim());
}

I could of course analyze the infoNode.OuterHtml but that sucks a bit. And the infoNode.NodeType simply returns ‘Element’

Anyone keen to help me? 🙂

Obviously the answer was to use the Name property

infoNode.Name
