HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlNode no definition for SelectNodes

Question

I am trying to use HtmlAgilityPack to search for elements inside a website. My problem is this:

I created a universal Windows 8 application (C #)

With the NuGet manager, I added:

using System.Net.Http; using HtmlAgilityPack; 

Then I did:

 string htmlPage; using (var client = new HttpClient()) { htmlPage = await client.GetStringAsync("http://www.domain.de/"); } HtmlDocument myDocument = new HtmlDocument(); myDocument.LoadHtml(htmlPage); //this line results an error @ "SelectNodes" var metaTags = myDocument.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//meta"); 

But the visual studio says:

 Error 1 'HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlNode' does not contain a definition for 'SelectNodes' 

I was already looking for a problem, but all websites just solved another problem when the code said “DocumentElement” instead of “DocumentNode”.

Do you have any clues?

Thanks!

Yes, SelectNodes not available in WP8, but you can use;

 var metaTags = myDocument.DocumentNode.Descendants("meta"); 

instead.
