How do you convert Html to plain text?
I want to show some Rss feeds in my application. But I do not want to show whole description.
I just want to show first couple of sentence of rss description.
Since lots of Rss feeds are coming as html, I want to convert to plain text and get sub string out of it.
Is there any way to html -> plain text in C#?
Thanks.
Please see filbys answer on How do you convert Html to plain text? for how to do this. You should also see Judah Himango's answer on the same question link. He basically says that you should use the HtmlAgilityPack which will do it for you.
Hope this helps!

when I list out information from my database through C#, if the info contains html tags such a; pagagraph (p) or title (h1) it does not use them but simply list them out as is, I searched the internet and have not found a solution to my problem yet. What I've discovered is that people have had problems with saving their info onto the server that uses html tags but my problem lies in the fact that when the info is listed out the tags just stay text.
If you have HTML tags in a database that you want to appear on in a browser as text, you can convert them with HtmlEncode() so that <div> will be displayed on the screen instead of interpreted as the beginning of and HTML div.
If your prblem is the other way, where it's stored in your database as <div> and you want an actual div, you can use HtmlDecode.()

What is the best way to parse html in C#?
I'm trying to write some code which uses a HttpWebRequest with GET method (or any suggested faster function), find a keyword on the page and then display what comes after it in various textviews.
The homepage it looks up will always be the same and will always find the same lines but with different data.
I've read about something called HtmlAgilityPack a lot but I cannot figure out if I can use it for this, nor how to.
Is there any faster functions to use to just get and find data within source?
Can I use HtmlAgilityPack, if so how (example please)?
Is there any easier way this can be done?
cheersnox
Yes you can use HtmlAgilityPack, if you want to extract text from tags
HtmlAgilityPack is an HTML parser that builds a read/write DOM from “real world” HTML files. It supports XPATH or XSLT and is tolerant with "real world" malformed HTML
In one line it use's XPath queries that real helps in extracting data quickly

Searching for a string in a pdf files
I'm working on an application that must find a location string in a PDF file. The string will look like "Location: XXXXXXXX" where XXXXXXXX is the value I need to use in my application.
How do I read this string from the PDF? Is there a library that I can use to read this? Once I get the string from the PDF I know how I'll process it. I just need to get the value out of the PDF.
Thanks!
You need something which can parse the PDF (you can't just search the file). What language do want to use?

Silverlight XML editor / syntax highlighting
Hello,
I have some XML in my Silverlight Application that I store in a String and wish to output to the user. The xml is already "pretty printed" in the sense that it is formatted with indentations, but it would make it much clearer to read if I could also add syntax colouring to it.
Can this be done? How do I go about doing it? (please suggest a library or something)
Come to think of it, I'm not even sure if it's at all possible to output coloured text in a .NET interface...
Thank you for any insight!
(PS: I don't care which version of Silverlight)
I looked and did not find a control that would do XML syntax highlighting for a WinForms RichTextBox. This was for an XPath evaluator tool I built. The WinForms RichTextBox has the capability to display colors of course, but I couldn't find one smart enough to highlight XML syntax.
I ended up building one. The approach I used would probably work for WPF as well.
This is the explanation for how I got there:
