Question

I have used ckeditor in my application which enables the user to store the data in db in form of tags like br>

bold i> etc but i want the data to be populated in the datagrid should be a plain text irrespective of any styles.

Answer 1

Have a look at Html to Text Converter, but if you need to display plain text then why allow user to add html content.

Below is also a way to do this:-

System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl htmlDiv = new System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl("div");
htmlDiv.InnerHtml = htmlString;
String plainText = htmlDiv.InnerText;
