Release Notes

1.4.6 Release

The only difference between 1.4.5 is a fix for the .NET 2.0 dll in 1.4.5

Below are the notes for 1.4.5

This codeplex release is provided as a courtesy, the preferred method of referencing HAP is through nuget http://nuget.org/packages/HtmlAgilityPack

This release includes versions of Html Agility Pack for .NET 2.0 - 4.5, Silverlight 4-5, Windows Phone 7-7.1 and Windows 8 Metro.

Windows 8 Metro support

The Windows 8 Metro version is a mostly untested port. There is a known bug with Windows 8 Metro HttpClient and basic authentication. This client is used within the HtmlWeb class. Also XPATH is not supported and may never be supported, only LINQ expressions can be used.

BugFixes

This update fixes a few bugs introduced in the nuget versions since 1.4.0.
  • PreHandleDocumentHandler now fires before the Document is loaded in HtmlWeb
  • Invalid parsing of td tags is fixed
  • Minor speed up of node name retrieval, most notable in LINQ queries
  • Deprecation of DescendantNodes and DescendantNodesAndSelf. These methods will have their implementations changed in the future which will break existing code. It is recommended to use Descendants and DescendantsAndSelf instead

Source code structure changes

More files have been split into partial classes or refactored to facilitate porting HAP to new .NET target profiles. Since it now not possible to build all versions of HAP in one version of visual studio there are multiple solution files. All solution files have been moved to the Solutions directory to keep items tidy. Test projects (current and upcoming) have been moved to the Tests folder. While all sample projects have been moved to the Samples folder.

Getting the Source Code

Due to Codeplex now supporting tagging source control versions to releases the source zip file is not included here. Please follow the tagged change set number link above to a page where you can download the source code for this release

Very Good,I've been using HAP with Powershell to script importing blog entries from a WordPress site we maintain. Extremely useful. Please maintain the CodePlex downloads, as I'd rather not have to set up a VS project just to pull NuGet updates

Not rating the product, but wanted to provide some help on opening the help. I am using Windows 7 and the help (.cfm) file listed on the download page (not on the documentation page, on the download page) wouldn't open correctly on my computer. I didn't have the UAC issue describe by others. Instead, I had to add a registry key as instructed by http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054, Example 1.

Great Work...Please update it for windows phone 8. We will get an error "System.Xml.Xpath" reference missing while using this in windows phone 8.

Excellent project. Finally something that allows me to process HTML better way than using regular expressions! Thought I found some bugs related XSLT and XPath.

The documentaction file is not working, I am unable to see the content. Please fix.

Thanks for the your excellent work done. I used it out of the box in my project (https://sitereader.codeplex.com/) and was able to release the code in just 4 days. -Ryan

good stuff, used it to sanitize html

This is a superb library -- fast, feature-rich, and well-documented. This is far and away the best HTML parser for .NET I've found, commercial or otherwise. To the guy that gave 1 star for a flaw with a single function: Dude, it's open source. Don't complain -- fix it! To the guy that gave it 3 stars for lack of documentation: Did you not see the .chm? DOW: tyvm + keep up the good work!

Thank you for this excellent library. I was always using the excellent CsQuery (https://github.com/jamietre/CsQuery), but I faced a scenario in which HAP helped me but CsQuery didn't.

I also want to use it using powershell - loading up the VS IDE is a waste of my time, please maintain download link. Only 1 star because LoadFile() function silently fails!

Superb. I use this in many projects and have always had great success with it. Thanks for sharing this great work.

I've been using it for a few hours as a first time user, and haven't encountered any difficulties (other than the error in the original example, which I quickly resolved). My html is parsing nicely, thanks!

how can I get a .winmd?
by horzel on Oct 23, 2012 at 4:28 AM
     
If you're having problems with the help file, make sure UAC isn't getting in your way. On Win7, open the properties of Documentation.chm and click the "Unblock" button.

Documentaaaaation?!!?! A stable project as useless as a book in the language of Haddock. The docs wont compile (VS2010 or VS2012), the CHM help file is empty(!), the XML help file has no tree? Just because you have to pay for the OS doesn't let you sit on your high horse and shout "I wrote that!" when you haven't finished! Google != Docs. Also, the sign up and login here is far too tedious.

Does not work with Windows 8. Useless.
