MSHTML in C#

[NG]

Hi All,

I had posted this question earlier but I could not find a solution to my
problem hence reframing my question.

GOAL: I want to use the MSHTML to access a HTML page, access the DOM tree,
do some modifications in the DOM tree and save changed DOM tree to a local
HTML file. However, I do not want to use the WebBrowser control. It seems
I am not declaring the interface correctly as I am new to .NET. Any help is
very much appreciated.

Best regards
Nitesh

THIS IS WHAT I TRIED DOING:
-----------------------------------

<IPersistStreamInit.cs>
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

[Guid("7FD52380-4E07-101B-AE2D-08002B2EC713"),

InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsDual)]

interface IPersistStreamInit // cannot list any base interfaces here

{

void GetClassID(System.Guid pClassID);

[PreserveSig] int IsDirty();

[PreserveSig] int Load([In] UCOMIStream pstm);

[PreserveSig] int Save([In] UCOMIStream pstm, [In] bool ClearDirty);

[PreserveSig] int GetSizeMax([In, Out, MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U8)] ref long
pcbSize);

[PreserveSig] int InitNew();

}

</IPersistStreamInit.cs>

The following code is written in a button click event of a form:

--------------------------------------------------------------

using mshtml;

HTMLDocument oDoc=new HTMLDocument();
IPersistStreamInit ips;

ips=(IPersistStreamInit) oDoc;

ips.InitNew();

IHTMLDocument2 iDoc2=oDoc.createDocumentFromUrl(txtURL.Text, "");

ERROR ENCOUNTERED:

---------------------------

An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in
mscorlib.dll

Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an
object.
