Replace text inside div tag

Question

I have this HTML code

<div id="content">
    <div class="sidebar">
        My Sidebar Stuff

        <div id="Some Other Div"> 
            etc...
        </div>

    </div>
</div>

Is it somehow possible to replace all the content inside the SIDEBAR div, including other divs, texts etc... I already tried some rudimentary Regex but i'm not that good at it.

Parsing HTML with Regex is a bad idea. There are other ways to manipulate the DOM — David L, Nov 06 '13 at 22:15

Use HtmlAgilityPack (available from NuGet) for manipulation on HTML:

HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
doc.Load("index.html");
var sidebar = doc.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//div[@class='sidebar']");
sidebar.InnerHtml = "New Content!";
