Hello,

I would like to create an application that could read an html file. Then I would like to search desired strings and get the data to text edit elements using C#. Could you please help with any example or tutorial? Thank you!

Regards

What I have tried:

WebClient client = new WebClient();
String htmlCode = client.DownloadString("D:/Work 2017/Site.html");
