Why bother with a `HtmlDocument` at all when you have the HTML in a string already? — Simon Whitehead, Aug 23 '13 at 09:47

string s = doc.DocumentNode.OuterHtml;

or

var sw = new StringWriter();
doc.Save(sw);
var s = sw.ToString();

Why not using this:

var str = File.ReadAllText(yourHtml);

It will read your html document to string without initializing HtmlDocument object. Is yourHtmlreally a html or just a path? HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument does not contain Load method accepting html.

   HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
   // call one of the doc.LoadXXX() functions
   Console.WriteLine(doc.DocumentNode.OuterHtml);
