C#, parsing HTML page, using HTML Agility Pack

Question

Following this example, I can find the LI sections.

However, I only want the LI items that reside inside the div with an id of "res".

How do I do that?

Something like this:

List facts = new List();
foreach (HtmlNode li in doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//div[@id='res']/li")) {
    facts.Add(li.InnerText);
}

XPath Checker might also help you with future XPath queries.

All correct, but may want to check HtmlNodeCollection for null in the event none exist.

Excellent! And thanks for the XPatch Checker tip too. I can definitely use that.
