select next node html Agility pack C#

Question

I'm a student working with htmlagilitypack for the 1st time. I'm currently filtering the html to get the values using

foreach (HtmlNode link in bodyNode.SelectNodes("//span[@class='content-b']"))
{
    if (link.InnerText.Contains("Name"))
    {
        //MessageBox.Show("Found");
        textBox1.Text += "Name : " + ?????;
    }

    textBox1.Text += link.InnerText;
}

As you can see, I'm checking if the current node contains a value "NAME" and if so i want to get the next node's value next to it. I will be very thankful if you can help me out with this.

The Value of the name is in the next node

THIS IS MY NAME

.. how can i problematically tell C# to get the next node before looping again ?

Thank you.

Update : Here is the html code fragment that im working with, It Looks ugly , I'm sorry I can't help it

Firstly, there is no class="content-b" in your document. They are all spelled as contet-b.

Secondly, since the html is not well-formed, NextSibling will not work. You need to manually get the next node matching the criteria. You can't use a foreach loop in this situation.

Here is the result:

var nodes = bodyNode.SelectNodes("//div[@class='contet-b']").ToList();
for( int i =0; i < nodes.Count; i++)
{
    var link = nodes[i];
    if (link.InnerText.Contains("Name"))
    {
        textBox1.Text += "Name : ";
        if (i + 1 < nodes.Count)
        {
            // append the value of next matching `div` node
            textBox1.Text += nodes[i + 1].InnerText.Trim();
            i++; // skip this node
        }
    }
}
