I had a need to flatten a set of HTML documents to a list of the HTML tags in their head sections.  I thought this bit of code might be useful for someone in the future. This uses the CsQuery library which is a port of jQuery in C#:  https://github.com/jamietre/CsQuery CsQuery also has a NuGet Package:  https://www.nuget.org/packages/CsQuery //Note: Get HTML from somewhere... var html = ""; var cq = CsQuery.CQ.Create(html); var head = cq["head"]; var nonScriptHeadTagsQuery = from t in head.Children() where t.NodeName != "SCRIPT" && t.NodeName != "LINK" select new { Tag = t, TagId = Guid.NewGuid() }; var nonScriptHeadTags = nonScriptHeadTagsQuery.ToList(); var htmlTags = nonScriptHeadTags .SelectMany(tagInfo => tagInfo.Tag.Attributes, (tagInfo, attribute) => new { TagInfo = tagInfo, Attribute = attribute }) .Select(x => new { TagId = x.TagInfo.TagId, TagType = x.TagInfo.Tag.NodeName, A...

---------------------- ASP.NET MVC 4 Membership Overview:  http://aaron-hoffman.blogspot.com/2013/02/aspnet-mvc-4-membership-users-passwords.html ---------------------- I recently developed a website to replace the built in ASP.NET Configuration Website Administration Tool provided by Microsoft and Visual Studio. Source available here:  https://github.com/StoneFinch/SmpMaintenance Direct link to download source code: https://github.com/StoneFinch/SmpMaintenance/archive/master.zip This tool has the ability to add new users to a ASP.NET MVC 4 website in bulk.  For example, if you have a list of usernames and passwords that you want to set up new accounts for, you can use the "Bulk Add New Users" functionality. Users can also be added to Roles via this page.  Multiple Roles are separated by spaces. Hope this helps, Aaron
