Getting contents of specific div element?

is it possible to get the contents of a tag from a web browser control like this: <div class="desc">contents</div> and then strip all HTML characters from it?

say WebBrowser1 has a website loaded into it. I want to extract the source code from it and find this:

<div class="desc"><b>these are the contents I want</b></div>

and extract it like this: these are the contents I want

Dim divs = WebBrowser1.Document.Body.GetElementsByTagName("div")

For Each d As HtmlElement In divs
    If d.GetAttribute("className") = "desc" Then
        Return d.InnerText
    End If
Next
