Question

I face the following problem.

I use text editor to allow the user to format the data before storing it in the DB.

My problem is when retrieving the data from my data base to show it in my report (report viewer ). the data appeared with the HTML tags in a very bad view !

How to fix this problem?

I tried this method :

Server.HtmlDecode()

but invain

Answer 1

One way is to remove all html tags using Regular Expressions as:

// I use this static method to make it faster.
private static Regex oClearHtmlScript = new Regex(@"<(.|\n)*?>", RegexOptions.Compiled);

public static string RemoveAllHTMLTags(string sHtml)
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(sHtml))
         return string.Empty;

    return oClearHtmlScript.Replace(sHtml, string.Empty);
}
