Getting data from websites on C# UWP app

I am a newbie trying to learn the basics on retrieving data from website using C# for universal windows applications. I am having trouble.

For instance, I tried the following code:

HtmlWeb web = new HtmlWeb();
HtmlDocument doc = await web.LoadFromWebAsync("https://uspdigital.usp.br/rucard/Jsp/cardapioSAS.jsp?codrtn=6");
var a = doc.GetElementbyId("almocoSegunda").innertext;

The problem is "a" received a null value. I think that html agility pack is not working for this webpage because I noticed it's not downloading the text in the tables.

What should I do?

The easiest way to do this is to use the HttpClient class. Here's an example of using HttpClient. After you download the page with GetStringAsync(), you can parse it with HtmlAgilityPack's HtmlDocument.LoadHtml() method.
