I am new to C#. I have been working on a C# console project. I sent a request to a server and get a very lengthy response string (html format). I want to extract and get some information from this string. If I use javascript I know how to fetch. This is console project. How do I extract it? Thanks.

There is a drop-down (html select list) in the html source. I want to fetch all the values within that select box (option items). I don't want to use forms. This is console app. Please adivce.
<select name="listnames" id="listnames">
<option value="190">my data 1</option>
<option value="1930">my data 2</option>
...............................
</select>

As Ramy suggested, you can use regexp to parse the response string. However, it might get tricky if there are multiple dropdowns.
Jeff Heaton has written a parser in C# which would be just the one you are looking for ... search for "Parsing HTML in Microsoft C# By Jeff Heaton" and you would get his article with the code.

I have only one select drop down in my response text. Can you tell me with some code, how to get option value using regular expression. Thanks.
