Error in C# code while using ITextSharp

I am using code from other question and i am getting the error as

Error 1 The non-generic type 'iTextSharp.text.List' cannot be used with type arguments

Error 2 The name 'HTMLWorker' does not exist in the current context

Error 3 The type or namespace name 'HTMLWorker' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

My code so far is as follows:

protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //Extract data from Page (pd).
    Label16.Text = Editor1.Content; // Attribute    

    // makae ready HttpContext
    HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
    HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";

    // Create PDF document
    Document pdfDocument = new Document(PageSize.A4, 80, 50, 30, 65);
    //PdfWriter pw = PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDocument, HttpContext.Current.Response.OutputStream);
    PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDocument, HttpContext.Current.Response.OutputStream);

    pdfDocument.Open();
    //WebClient wc = new WebClient();
    string htmlText = Editor1.Content;

    List<IElement> htmlarraylist = HTMLWorker.ParseToList(new StringReader(htmlText), null);
    for (int k = 0; k < htmlarraylist.Count; k++)
    {
        pdfDocument.Add((IElement)htmlarraylist[k]);
    }

    //pdfDocument.Add(new Paragraph(IElement));
    pdfDocument.Close();
    HttpContext.Current.Response.End();

}

Please Help me to resolve the error. What i am trying is to get the contents (non html) from htmleditor and display in a pdf file. please confirm me whether what i am trying to do is correct or not.

1.Prefix your List like 

System.Collections.Generics.List<IElement> htmlarraylist

2.Looks like you didn't import the namespace of HTMLWorker

EDIT:I googled for you ,the namespace could be any of these three.I doubt it could be the last one,but i am not sure.

using iTextSharp.text;
using iTextSharp.text.pdf;
using iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser;

There's a name conflict in this code - you are using iTextSharp.text namespace and trying to use standard System.Collections.Generic.List<T> class.

Either you need to remove using iTextSharp.text and use its classes with explicit namespace or use explicit namespace for List<T>.

System.Collections.Generic.List<IElement> htmlarraylist = HTMLWorker.ParseToList(new StringReader(htmlText), null);

The third solution is to use aliases.

And for the second error, you need to import HTMLWorker namespace. Put

using iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser;

at the top.
