HTML parser

Hi,

Could someone recommend any decedent html parser ? All what I need to do is
to extract the links from a given page.
I've found several tools in codeproject but all seems to be a bit inmature,
yet.

I'd like to hear opinions and personal experiences with any c# html parser.

Thanks in advance.

This one worked for me.

I was using it to manipulate machine-generated HTML, not HTML in the wild,
though.

Hi Craig,

Do you really need a full-fledged HTML parser for this? I think a smart
RegExp would be enough to extract <A> tags, or you could write a simple
tokenizer, thanks the Lord HTML grammar is pretty simple.
