HTML is just text, there is not need to convert anything. Just use the String methods to find and replace the the text you need to modify.

Use the StringReader to open the HTML file and read the text into a String variable.

HI! Thank you por your reply, ok, i understand now that html is a text, then, I have tu put de file.html in the line :

Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader("FILE.html")

 Public Shared Sub Main()
		Try
			' Create an instance of StreamReader to read from a file.
			Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader("TestFile.txt")
			Dim line As String
			' Read and display the lines from the file until the end 
			' of the file is reached.
			Do
				line = sr.ReadLine()
				Console.WriteLine(Line)
			Loop Until line Is Nothing
			sr.Close()
		Catch E As Exception
			' Let the user know what went wrong.
			Console.WriteLine("The file could not be read:")
			Console.WriteLine(E.Message)
		End Try
	End Sub

the text of the file.html, is save in the variable "line" ?

Use the ReadToEnd method to load the HTML into a String and yes, the text will be in the 'line' variable.

 Public Shared Sub Main()
		Try
			' Create an instance of StreamReader to read from a file.
			Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader("TestFile.txt")
			Dim line As String
			' Read and display the lines from the file until the end
			' of the file is reached.
			line = sr.ReadToEnd()

			sr.Close()
		Catch E As Exception
			' Let the user know what went wrong.
			Console.WriteLine("The file could not be read:")
			Console.WriteLine(E.Message)
		End Try
	End Sub

Thank you Jayman, now i have de html in the variable "line", but If i want to modify one line of the string, how can i say?.
Example:

This is the html in the string "line":
<-------->
<-------->
----
---
<EVIMED>
<----->
<----->

I want to replace the line <EVIMED> for a new word, for example "pablo". Later than modifiy the html will be:

<-------->
<-------->
----
---
pablo
<----->
<----->

EXist a class or something to do this kind of things in visual basic¿?

THank you!!!

The String class has everything you need, use the Replace method. One thing to remember is that the Replace method will replace every instance of the word. So if you have '<EVIMED>' in the string more than once, all of them will be replaced with 'pablo'.

line = line.Replace("<EVIMED>", "pablo")
