C# code to relate two nodes

AshwiniSH

I am working with C# windows application. I have html source, which im converting to html node collection using htmlagilitypack. I am parsing through each node and searching for a text. I want to get the relation between two nodes.

For eg:

<div>

</div>

<div>

<a href="www.abc.com">structure</a>

</div>

My node1 = <a href="www.google.com"></a>. I will search for text "structure" in other nodes and as a result i get node2 = <a href="www.abc.com">structure</a>

Can i relate these two nodes? say node2 is sibling or parent or child or descendant of node1.

Please help me...

My node1 = <a href="www.google.com"></a>. I will search for text "structure" in remaining nodes and as a result i get node2 = <a href="www.abc.com">structure</a>

Can i relate these two nodes? Like node2 is in sibling or parent or child or descendant etc of node1.

Please help me...

How do you determine whether a node is a sibling/parent/child of another node? By its location in the same container (div) element? Something else? Not clear to me.

It can be in the same container or different. I want to relate the nodes. Say node1's parent's sibling is node2 or node1's sibling is node2 or any scenario that gives the connection between the two nodes. For Ex: <div> <node1/> </div> <div> <node2/> </div> node2 is node1's parent's (div1) sibling's (div2) child I hope this is clear.

Logically, the only relation between the two is that they are siblings - they are both children of the parent node that encompases them. Neither of these is a parent or child to the other.

Yes, but how do you determine the relationship? As it stands there is nothing to connect the two nodes, they are just independent URIs; you need to set some rules that specify how they relate to each other.
