//StringReader sr = new StringReader(html);
//XmlTextReader xtr = new XmlTextReader(sr);

document.Open();
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(html);
using (TextReader sReader = new StringReader(sb.ToString()))
{

List<ielement> list = HTMLWorker.ParseToList(sReader, new StyleSheet());

the exception clearly say it can't find a directory or file name that you have used.So make sure you give the correct file path.

Solution 2

In Place of "htmlparser.Parse(sr);"
Use this

StringBuilder strB = new StringBuilder(html);

XML

using (TextReader sReader = new StringReader(strB.ToString()))
           {
               List<IElement> list = HTMLWorker.ParseToList(sReader, new StyleSheet());
               foreach (IElement elm in list)
               {
                   Doc.Add(elm);
               }
           }
