    copied!<p>Hope somebody can help me.</p> <p>Let´s say I have a html document that contains multiple divs like this example:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="search_hit"&gt; &lt;span prop="name"&gt;Richard Winchester&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span prop="company"&gt;Kodak&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span prop="street"&gt;Arlington Road 1&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="search_hit"&gt; &lt;span prop="name"&gt;Ted Mosby&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span prop="company"&gt;HP&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span prop="street"&gt;Arlington Road 2&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>I´m using HtmlAgilityPack to get the html document. What i need to know is how can i get the spans for each "search_hit"-div?</p> <p>My first thought was something like this:</p> <pre><code>foreach (HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlNode node in doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//div[@class='search_hit']")) { foreach (HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlNode node2 in node.SelectNodes("//span[@prop]")) { } } </code></pre> <p>Each div should be a object with the included spans as properties. I. e.</p> <pre><code>public class Record { public string Name { get; set; } public string company { get; set; } public string street { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>And this List shall be filled then:</p> <pre><code>public List&lt;Record&gt; Results = new List&lt;Record&gt;(); </code></pre> <p>But the XPATH i´m using is not doing a search in the subnode as it should do. It seams that it searches the whole document again and again.</p> <p>I mean I already got it working in that way that i just get the the spans of the whole page. But then i have no relation between the spans and divs. Means: I don´t know anymore which span is related to which div.</p> <p>Does somebody know a solution? I already played around that much that i´m totally confused now :)</p> <p>Any help is appreciated!</p>
