Examples

The following code example shows how to examine an arbitrary HTML document and derive a string describing the HTML elements, with indentation and level numbers used to indicate how deeply nested the elements are in the document. This code example requires that your application hosts a WebBrowser control named WebBrowser1.

private void PrintDomBegin()
{
    if (webBrowser1.Document != null)
    {
        HtmlElementCollection elemColl = null;
        HtmlDocument doc = webBrowser1.Document;
        if (doc != null)
        {
            elemColl = doc.GetElementsByTagName("HTML");
            String str = PrintDom(elemColl, new System.Text.StringBuilder(), 0);
            webBrowser1.DocumentText = str;
        }
    }
}

private string PrintDom(HtmlElementCollection elemColl, System.Text.StringBuilder returnStr, Int32 depth)
{
    System.Text.StringBuilder str = new System.Text.StringBuilder();

    foreach (HtmlElement elem in elemColl)
    {
        string elemName;

        elemName = elem.GetAttribute("ID");
        if (elemName == null || elemName.Length == 0)
        {
            elemName = elem.GetAttribute("name");
            if (elemName == null || elemName.Length == 0)
            {
                elemName = "<no name>";
            }
        }

        str.Append(' ', depth * 4);
        str.Append(elemName + ": " + elem.TagName + "(Level " + depth + ")");
        returnStr.AppendLine(str.ToString());

        if (elem.CanHaveChildren)
        {
            PrintDom(elem.Children, returnStr, depth + 1);
        }

        str.Remove(0, str.Length);
    }

    return (returnStr.ToString());
}

Private Sub PrintDomBegin()
    If (WebBrowser1.Document IsNot Nothing) Then
        Dim ElemColl As HtmlElementCollection

        Dim Doc As HtmlDocument = WebBrowser1.Document
        If (Not (Doc Is Nothing)) Then
            ElemColl = Doc.GetElementsByTagName("HTML")
            Dim Str As String = PrintDom(ElemColl, New System.Text.StringBuilder(), 0)

            WebBrowser1.DocumentText = Str
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Private Function PrintDom(ByVal ElemColl As HtmlElementCollection, ByRef ReturnStr As System.Text.StringBuilder, ByVal Depth As Integer) As String
    Dim Str As New System.Text.StringBuilder()

    For Each Elem As HtmlElement In ElemColl
        Dim ElemName As String

        ElemName = Elem.GetAttribute("ID")
        If (ElemName Is Nothing Or ElemName.Length = 0) Then
            ElemName = Elem.GetAttribute("name")
            If (ElemName Is Nothing Or ElemName.Length = 0) Then
                ElemName = "<no name>"
            End If
        End If

        Str.Append(CChar(" "), Depth * 4)
        Str.Append(ElemName & ": " & Elem.TagName & "(Level " & Depth & ")")
        ReturnStr.AppendLine(Str.ToString())

        If (Elem.CanHaveChildren) Then
            PrintDom(Elem.Children, ReturnStr, Depth + 1)
        End If

        Str.Remove(0, Str.Length)
    Next

    PrintDom = ReturnStr.ToString()
End Function

Remarks

HtmlElement represents any possible type of element in an HTML document, such as BODY, TABLE, and FORM, among others. The class exposes the most common properties you can expect to find on all elements.

Most elements can have child elements: other HTML elements that are placed underneath them. Use the CanHaveChildren property to test whether a given element has children, and the Children collection to iterate through them. The Parent property returns the HtmlElement in which the current element is nested.

You often need access to attributes, properties, and methods on the underlying element that are not directly exposed by HtmlElement, such as the SRC attribute on an IMG element or the Submit method on a FORM. The GetAttribute and SetAttribute methods enable you to retrieve and alter any attribute or property on a specific element, while InvokeMember provides access to any methods not exposed in the managed Document Object Model (DOM). If your application has unmanaged code permission, you can also access unexposed properties and methods with the DomElement attribute.

Use the TagName property to test whether an element is of a specific type.

Any HTML document can be modified at run time. You can create new HtmlElement objects with the CreateElement method of HtmlDocument, and add them to another element using the AppendChild or InsertAdjacentElement methods. You can also create the elements as HTML tags and assign them to an existing element's InnerHtml property.
