you can use HtmlAgilitiPack very good library.

and then:

public string StripHTMLTags(string str)
        {
            StringBuilder pureText = new StringBuilder();
            HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
            doc.LoadHtml(str);

            foreach (HtmlNode node in doc.DocumentNode.ChildNodes)
            {
                pureText.Append(node.InnerText);
            }

            return pureText.ToString();
        }
