Okay so I've been spinning me head for hours and hours trying to get the hang of this but I just simply can't and I'm wondering if anyone here could help me out.

I'm trying to use HTML Agility Pack to parse only one tr from a table. Here is the full table html code.

HTML

<table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="2" style="border-collapse: collapse" width="100%">
		<tbody><tr>
			<td width="50%" style="border-removed solid; border-top-width: 2"></td>
			<td width="50%" style="border-removed solid; border-top-width: 2"></td>
		</tr>

				<tr valign="top">
			<td>Country</td>
			<td>United Kingdom</td>
		</tr>
		
				<tr valign="top">
			<td>Contact detail</td>
			<td>08700746464<br>Vodafone Head Office<br>The Courtyard<br>2-4 London Road<br>Newbury<br>Berkshire<br>RG14 1JX</td>
		</tr>
		
				<tr valign="top">
			<td colspan="2" style="height: 0.5em"></td>
		</tr>

		<tr valign="top">
			<td style="border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1">Ofcom Data</td>
			<td></td>
		</tr>

		<tr valign="top">
			<td>Network</td>
			<td>Vodafone Uk Ltd</td>
		</tr>

		
		
				<tr>
			<td>Change date</td>
			<td>11-2012</td>
		</tr>
		
				
		
		
	</tbody></table>

But the actual only part I'm wanting to parse is this

HTML

Vodafone Uk Ltd

This has been driving me crazy because I've not used HTML Agility Pack before and I'm kind of new and looking to learn.

Just wondered if anyone could be kind and give me a hand here. I know I'm probably even trying it all wrong BUT I have tried and for many hours with many different methods on google.

What I have tried:

C#

HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument document = htmlWeb.Load("URL");

// Targets a specific node
HtmlNode content_wrapper = document.GetElementbyId("table");

System.Console.WriteLine(table.ToString());
HtmlNodeCollection search_results = content_wrapper.SelectNodes("//tr[@class='']");
foreach (HtmlNode result in tr)
{
    string recipe_name = result.SelectSingleNode("*[@class='Network']").InnerText;// error appears here
    System.Console.WriteLine(Network);
}
System.Console.ReadKey();

What is the error you get?
This code 'result.SelectSingleNode("*[@class='Network']")' probably returns null.

try this, provided the html page should contain only one table.

C#

var tds = document.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//table //tr//td");
           for (int i = 0; i < tds.Count; i++)
           {
               string name = tds[i].InnerText.Trim();
               if (name == "Network")
               {
                   string value = tds[i + 1].InnerText.Trim();
                  // MessageBox.Show(value);
                    Console.WriteLine(value);
                   break;
               }
           }
