Converting HTML to plain text in C# [duplicate]

Question

I am having HTML content. How can i convert it into plain text so that i can so it in a label.

lbl1.Text = htmlEditor1.Html;

Any suggestion !

Is there a reason to show this in a label? As Thomas advised you, you could throw away all tags, but the layout won't be nice... It might be an alternativ to show your html within a browser control. — Gottfried Lesigang

Regex.Replace(htmlEditor1.Html, "<.*?>", string.Empty);

will strip all HTML tags if that is what you meant.
