Getting CSS of an element using C#

Question

In javascript I can easily use JQuery to get css, for example:

$("#id").css();

I need to do the same in c#. Im getting the html source into string (usually parsing it with agility pack), and I need to get the css values of a specific htmlnode.

does a way doing so exist?

thanks.

possibly NO... you can only get the values in the attrubutes in the html element, but possibly you can't get the css values from a css class from server side — mshsayem

Maybe this is what you are looking for-->HTML Element Class and HTML Element GetAttributes.

Although, I do suggest to use jquery as much as possible for this. HTML is more for UI, and C# code is usually more for business logic, so if you can avoid mixing this as much as possible, that is better :)

seems ok, but working with the controller is really annoying.. thanks for the solution.
