Stack empty Error when using iTextSharp for converting HTML to PDF

Question

I want to export in pdf my htmlcode

var document = new Document();
            string filePath = Server.MapPath("~/generatedBook");
            string exceptionPath = Server.MapPath("~/exceptions");
            PdfWriter pdfWriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document,
            new FileStream(filePath + "/Book"+_IdSes+".pdf", FileMode.Create));
            pdfWriter.SetFullCompression();
            pdfWriter.StrictImageSequence = true;
            pdfWriter.SetLinearPageMode();


            try
            {
                document.SetPageSize(PageSize.A4.Rotate());
                document.SetPageSize(new Rectangle(792f, 612f)); // 11" x 8.5"

//here it it gives me exception stack is empty

List<iTextSharp.text.IElement> htmlarraylist = 
 iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.HTMLWorker.ParseToList(new 
                                         StringReader(htmlcode.ToString()), st);

//htmlcode is of type StringBuilder

foreach (IElement t in htmlarraylist)
                {
                    document.Add((IElement)t);
                }


                document.Close();

Full Exception

HTMLWorker is deprecated and won't be maintained. it's replaced with xml-worker.
