    I need to modify a section of HTML that will be submitted by a UI as a snippet (not as a file). I need to do some heavy reformatting of the HTML by identifying patterns of formatting in each node to determine what kind of content it is. It will be XHTML so I don't have to deal with poorly formed HTML.

     I have created basic data-driven asp.net pages, but have not used the DOM before. All of the examples I can find require loading a file or using the web browser control in a windows forms application. Just getting suggestions for a better set of search terms might help.

     THANK YOU

    You may be able to use the XmlDocument class:

            XmlDocument XDoc = new XmlDocument();
        XDoc.LoadXml("<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Test Links</TITLE> </HEAD><BODY></BODY></HTML>");

     

    From the online help:

    This class implements the W3C Document Object Model (DOM) Level 1 Core and the Core DOM Level 2. The DOM is an in-memory (cache) tree representation of an XML document and enables the navigation and editing of this document.
