How do I read HTML Document in C# given that I have the webpage source stored in a string variable?

Question

I have tried to do this on my own but couldn't.

I have an html document, and I'm trying to extract the addresses for all the pictures in it into a c# collection and I'm not sure of the syntax. I'm using HTMLAgilityPack... Here is what I have so far. Please advise.

The HTML Code is the following:

<div style='padding-left:12px;' id='myWeb123'>
<b>MyWebSite Pics</b>
<br /><br />
<img src="http://myWebSite.com/pics/HHTR_01.jpg" alt='myWebSitePics' title='myWebSitePics' /><br /><br />
<img src="http://myWebSite.com/pics/HHTR_02.jpg" alt='myWebSitePics' title='myWebSitePics' /><br /><br />
<img src="http://myWebSite.com/pics/HHTR_03.jpg" alt='myWebSitePics' title='myWebSitePics' /><br /><br />
<img src="http://myWebSite.com/pics/HHTR_04.jpg" alt='myWebSitePics' title='myWebSitePics' /><br /><br />
<img src="http://myWebSite.com/pics/HHTR_05.jpg" alt='myWebSitePics' title='myWebSitePics' /><br /><br />
<img src="http://myWebSite.com/pics/HHTR_06.jpg" alt='myWebSitePics' title='myWebSitePics' /><br /><br />
<img src="http://myWebSite.com/pics/HHTR_07.jpg" alt='myWebSitePics' title='myWebSitePics' /><br /><br />
<img src="http://myWebSite.com/pics/HHTR_08.jpg" alt='myWebSitePics' title='myWebSitePics' /><br /><br />
<img src="http://myWebSite.com/pics/HHTR_09.jpg" alt='myWebSitePics' title='myWebSitePics' /><br /><br />
<img src="http://myWebSite.com/pics/HHTR_10.jpg" alt='myWebSitePics' title='myWebSitePics' /><br /><br />
<a href="http://www.myWebSite.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Source</a>
</div>

And the c# code is the following:

HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument document = new HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument();

document.Load("FileName.html");

// Targets a specific node
HtmlNode someNode = document.GetElementbyId("myWeb123");

//HtmlNodeCollection linkNodes = document.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//a[@href]");

HtmlNodeCollection linkNodes = document.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//div[@id='myWeb123']");

if (linkNodes != null)
{
    int count = 0;
    foreach(HtmlNode linkNode in linkNodes)
    {

        string linkTitle = linkNode.GetAttributeValue("src", string.Empty);

        Debug.Print("linkTitle = " + linkTitle);

        if (linkTitle == string.Empty)
        {
            HtmlNode imageNode = linkNode.SelectSingleNode("img[@alt]");
            if (imageNode != null)
            {
                Debug.Print("imageNode = " + imageNode.Attributes.ToString());
            }
        }
        count++;
        Debug.Print("count = " + count);
    }
}

I tried to use the HtmlAgilityPack Documentation but this pack lacks examples and the information about its methods and classes are really hard for me to understand without examples.

try this, sorry if it will not be buildable, I have overwritten our code to your situation

List<string> result = new List<string>();
foreach (HtmlNode link in document.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//img[@src]"))
{
    HtmlAttribute att = link.Attributes["src"];

    string temp = att.Value;
    string urlValue;
    do
    {
        urlValue = temp;
        temp = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(urlValue));
    } while (temp != urlValue);

    result.Add(temp);
}
