C# get css property

Question

I have an element in c#:

HtmlElement element = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("idName");

The site has an element

<ul id="idName" class="className">

In the css for this class is registered property of the background: url ('url'). How do I know this property from c#?

is this css being defined in a separate stylesheet?

System.Windows.Forms.HtmlElement.GetAttribute(string) is what you want IMO. simply call it passing the class and luckily it will return to you the value you're looking for.

I tried using GetAttribute ("background"), it returns null. GetAttribute ("style") returns "System.__ComObject" string.

I guess that you must pass either "css" or "class" and what the method returns is a string AFAIK.

You could use javascript to assign that value to an hidden form field, and then read the field's value in your C# code.

Would be nice to know why you're doing this though.

I believe you are going to have to parse the css file yourself. When you detect that an element has a class assigned, search the corresponding css file for that class. Then pull the properties for it and compare.
