Answer 1

Basically, you can change XPath for SelectNodes() to be selecting individual <a> elements instead of <ul>. Then from this point, it will be easy to iterate through the result and get href attribute one by one. Or you achieve the same using LINQ, like the following for example :

'select <a> elements'
Dim links = htmldoc.Document.SelectNodes("//*[@id='catlist-listview']/ul/li/a")
'project to IEnumerable of href attribute value'
Dim hrefs = links.Cast(Of HtmlNode)().Select(Function(x) x.GetAttributeValue("href", ""))
'join the `hrefs`, separated by newline, into one string'
textbox3.text = String.Join(Environment.NewLine, hrefs)
