Prevent SyndicationClient showing HTML tags.

Question

I want to get news from an rss feed of a news web site and show them in a textbox.. And here is the code I've tried..

Uri feeduri = new Uri(@"http://lankacnews.com/sinhala/feed/");

            var feed = await client.RetrieveFeedAsync(feeduri);
            

            foreach (SyndicationItem item in feed.Items)
            {
                textBox1.Text += item.Title.Text + Environment.NewLine;
                textBox1.Text += item.Summary.Text.ToString() + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine;
            }

But the problem is it doesnt show only the title and news in the text box. It shows HTML tags such as <p> <br>..

 And some times it shows the whole HTML code for images like "<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-109622" alt=anura-soami src="http://lankacnews.com/sinhala/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/anura-soami.png" width=630 height=753>"

Is there anyway to prevent this ?

Answer 1

Use a regular expression to strip them out of the string

String result = Regex.Replace(htmlDocument, @"<[^>]*>", String.Empty);
