Question

my SSRS DataSet returns a field with HTML, e.g.

<b>blah blah </b><i> blah </i>.

how do i strip all the HTML tags? has to be done with inline VB.NET

Changing the data in the table is not an option.

Solution found ... = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(StringWithHTMLtoStrip, "<[^>]+>","")

Thanx to Daniel, but I needed it to be done inline ... here's the solution:

= System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(StringWithHTMLtoStrip, "<[^>]+>","")
