As HtmlAgilityPack is yet not supported in windows phone 8.1,referencing manually in the project was a trick solution. But this is not the only problem. I could use XPath
for my past project to select nodes. Now I can see that HtmlDocumentNode.SelectNode()
function is no more(because of version compatibility may be).
what I used in my past project was similar to this
HtmlNode parent = document.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//ul[@class='songs-list1']");
HtmlNodeCollection x = parent.ChildNodes;
I searched over stackoverflow and google and got an Idea that It's still possible to select nodes using Linq.
I'm seeking for a block of code which will work like SelectNodes
, SelectNode
.
Loading the HtmlDocument
asynchronously would be appreciated.
If you meant to translate your current code which using XPath to be using LINQ, then this will do :
HtmlNode parent = document.DocumentNode
.Descendants("ul")
.FirstOrDefault(o => o.GetAttributeValue("class", "")
== "songs-list1")
HtmlNodeCollection x = parent.ChildNodes;
But if you expect to find methods that accept XPath in HtmlAgilityPack version for Windows Phone 8.1 universal apps or Windows RT ("I'm seeking for a block of code which will work like SelectNodes
, SelectNode
"), you better don't : HtmlAgilityPack & Windows 8 Metro Apps (answer by the author of HAP).
You can do it using the Element/s method:
HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
doc.LoadHtml(htmlString);
var h6Nodes = from h6element in doc.DocumentNode.Element("body").Element("center").Elements("h6")
where h6element.Attributes["class"].Value.Equals("songs-list")
select h6element;
This is assuming you have something like
string htmlString = @"<html>
<body>
<center>
<h6>Hello </h6>
<h6>World! </h6>
<h6 class=""songs-list"">
Insert that one song here
</h6>
</center>
</body>
</html>"
and that will get the <h6>
node with class songs-list.
