How can I tell if an SPField is a rich text box or a normal text box

Question

Can anyone tell me how i can find out if an SPField object is a rich text box or a normal text box. If its a rich text box then i want to use the GetFieldValueAsHtml otherwise i want to use the GetFieldValueAsText methods.

I have looked at SPField.Type but i am either blind (very possible) or it just has a Text option that represents all Text field.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Can you use the TypeAsString property? Others seem to have had issues finding the type.

string fieldType = spField.TypeAsString;
