.NET : Remove Html Tags from A String

Introduction:

This snippet will strip a string of all Html tags and replace a tag with a blank space (You can alternatively replace it with String.Empty but this often leads to words being joined).

using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

const string HTML_PATTERN = "<.*?>";

static string StripHTML (string inputString)

{

   return Regex.Replace

     (inputString, HTML_PATTERN , " ");

}
