I have a winform project where i am using web browser control which load a site. the site has many tabular data which is a html table. user will select large text from web browser control using their mouse. the select may have many data including multiple tabular data which is nothing but a html table.

I know how to get text from selection. this is sample code which return text.

private string GetSelectedText()
{
    dynamic document = webBrowser1.Document.DomDocument;
    dynamic selection = document.selection;
    dynamic text = selection.createRange().text;
    return (string)text;
}


But i need html of selected area on web browser control programmatically. i use a code sample which suppose to return html of selected portion of web page loaded into web browser control.....but no luck.

here i am sharing that code which not working as expected. please see my code and tell me how could grab the html content from web browser control of large selection ?

here is the code which is not working.

            this.Controls.Add(btn);

            var panel = new Panel();
            panel.Top = btn.Height + 2;
            panel.Height = this.ClientSize.Height - btn.Height + 2;
            panel.Width = this.ClientSize.Width;
            panel.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Right | AnchorStyles.Top | AnchorStyles.Bottom;
