How to extract data from specific html class agility pack

Question

I want to extract not the whole web-page but only text from one class, I haven't found how to do this for my code. I want text from td class="result-neutral" this is html code:

<td class="result-neutral" xseid="xz1nBfht"><a href="/hockey/russia/khl/ska-st-petersburg-metallurg-magnitogorsk-xz1nBfht/">3 - 2 </a></td>

Now I have sych a C# code(Info is the name of a textbox):

 HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
        HtmlWeb hw = new HtmlWeb();
        doc = hw.Load("http://www.sportstats.com/hockey/russia/detail/ska-st-petersburg-zVJwe4ER/");
       var nodes = doc.DocumentNode.Descendants("td");
 string result = "";
        foreach (var item in nodes)
        {
            result += item.InnerText+Environment.NewLine;
        }
        Info.Text = result;

    }

To be honest, I'd better get the score, which in the example above is 3-2

I guess that site is using AJAX to load the scores so it will not be available for HTMLAgilityPack when you use their .Load().

Perhaps you can use WebBrowser object in C# to load the page first and then use HAP to load the content. There are ton of examples about this.

Hope it helps!

Thanks! You're absolutely right, this code works for other web-pages – David Shepard Jun 20 '17 at 09:03
