HTML parser

[Brandon Parker]

Hi. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good HTML parser that i can use. I've looked for a good one but just cant seem to find anything.

Thanks
Brandon

MSHTML exposes Microsofts DHTML parser as COM object.

[Brandon Parker]

Thats true. But i heard that MS is taking that out soon.

Where'd you hear this? and why should they?

[Brandon Parker]

I read it on here. And i dont know why they should.

Hi,
I'd say even if they should move the entire thing onto .NET, the Document/Object Model, and the interface will stay the same. And I don't think MS will drop COM completely - although it will be less wide spread once .NET becomes the "standard platform".

We use MSHTML for generating custom reports, and although it's a little pain sometimes, it's really worth the trouble
