Hi,
I have a C# application that receive a html file, I want to parse it and validate it, that on output it will return a list of errors or that my html is valid.
Has anyone any idea how can I do this?
Thanks.

Not really. That is looking for something that can recover from errors, not test for them.

Yes it is, the errors can be recovered from many of the options listed within.

A bit more detail about them would be nice, I don't think hunting through the answers reveals that information, so people would have to examine the documentation for each of them in turn.

There is an obscure DLL in the framework version 1.0 (!) Microsoft.mshtml.dll and that is the only way in the framework to deal with DOM. If HTML is XHTML and a valid XML, then you canuse XML but other wise this is the only chance.

hmmm, explain me how can you can validate an very elaborate html file with xml. I thought about that too, and I think it's not the best way.

In what framework? Nobody mentioned a framework. (Oh, and must we resort to name calling?)

It's not so obscure, it the PIA for Internet Explorer. Not part of the framework, it's a COM interop library. Whether IE is a good validator for HTML is, ahem, debatable.

I'd run a local instance of the W3C Markup Validation service and communicate with it via the API

You can use HTML Tidy. There is a wrapper for .NET called TidyManaged
