Question

I have the following expression to strip HTML tags away from data retrieved. How may i edit it to filter out special characters as well? (eg.  , @amp; etc)

Currently it only filters out <>.

@ Page.xaml.cs:

//remove HTML from string with Regex.

  public static string StripTagsRegex(string source)
    {
        return Regex.Replace(source, "<.*?>", string.Empty);
    }

Don’t. Use HTML parser, and once you fed HTML into it, then get InnerText (not html) of it. This way you get only content of the html.
