How do I find the text within a div in the source of a web page using C#

Question

How can I get the HTML code from a website, save it, and find some text by using a LINQ expression?

I'm using the following code to get the source of a web page:

 public static String code(string Url) {     HttpWebRequest myRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(Url);     myRequest.Method = "GET";     WebResponse myResponse = myRequest.GetResponse();     StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(myResponse.GetResponseStream(),         System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);     string result = sr.ReadToEnd();     sr.Close();     myResponse.Close();          return result; }

Better you can use the Webclient class to simplify your task:

using System.Net;  using (WebClient client = new WebClient()) {     string htmlCode = client.DownloadString("http://somesite.com/default.html"); }
