Answer 1

You may try something along the lines:

var doc = new HtmlDocument();
doc.Load("foo.html");
var node = doc.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//span[@id='foo']");
if (node != null)
{
    var innerText = node.InnerText;
}

Answer 2

I personally prefer to turn the whole thing into an XElement and query it that way when using Html Agility. Easier than xpath IMHO. But Darin's answer works
