getting <a> tags and attribute with htmlagilitypack with vb.net

i have this code

Dim htmldoc As HtmlDocument = New HtmlDocument()
htmldoc.LoadHtml(strPageContent)
Dim root As HtmlNode = htmldoc.DocumentNode

For Each link As HtmlNode In开发者_开发百科 root.SelectNodes("//a")
    If link.HasAttributes("href") Then doSomething() 'this doesn't work because hasAttributes only checks whether an element has attributes or not
Next

but am getting an error Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

the document contains at least one anchor-tag? how do i check if an attribute exits?

i tried this if link.HasAttributes("title") then and get another error

Public ReadOnly Property HasAttributes() As Boolean' has no parameters and its return type cannot be indexed.

If HtmlAgilityPack supports this XPATH selector, you can replace //a with //a[@href]

For Each link as HtmlNode In root.SelectNodes("//a[@href]")
    doSomething()
Next

Otherwise, you can use the Attributes property:

For Each link as HtmlNode In root.SelectNodes("//a")
    If link.Attributes.Any(Function(a) a.Name = "href") Then doSomething()
Next

Dim htmldoc As HtmlDocument = New HtmlDocument()
htmldoc.LoadHtml(strPageContent)
Dim root As HtmlNode = htmldoc.DocumentNode

var nodes = root.SelectNodes("//a[@href and @title]")
if (nodes <> Null) Then
    For Each link As HtmlNode In nodes
        If link.HasAttributes("href") Then doSomething() 'this doesn't work because hasAttributes only checks whether an element has attributes or not
    Next
end if

Also, you can check for attributes: link.Attributes["title"] if null, then doesnt have attribute. Same link.Attributes["href"] and etc.

Property link.HasAttributes shows only that tag has any attribute, it is bool value.
