How is it possible to remove all rows from the HTML table using anglesharp?
I am trying to remove all rows in table. I've read this documentation, however, rows are not removed.
My code looks like this:
public void DeleteRows(IElement table)
{
foreach (var row in table?.QuerySelectorAll("tr"))
{
row.Remove();
}
var lengthAfterDeletion = table?.QuerySelectorAll("tr")?.Length;
}

I think we figured it out in the meantime (see https://github.com/AngleSharp/AngleSharp/issues/838).
Just for future reference (in case somebody else runs into the same problem, which happens quite easily):
public void DeleteRows(IElement table)
{
var rows = table?.QuerySelectorAll("tr").ToArray();
foreach (var row in rows)
{
row.Remove();
}
var legnthAfterDeletion = table?.QuerySelectorAll("tr")?.Length;
}
The key is to get a static snapshot of the result before changing the DOM. Hence the .ToArray() which comes from LINQ and can be applied to any iterator.
