lblActionSummary.Text=Regex.Replace(lblActionSummary.Text, "<.*?>", string.Empty);

I am trying this .. I don't want to take browser contents HTML elements ...

but then if the information has paragraphs, certain spaces, bold, and italic elements. All gets skipped .. And I am unable to see the proper view. I just don't want to display background color on elements because my background color is already set and some font color, other than that it should use all HTML tags.

Please suggest.

Suggest what? So far, you say: "I want to skip tags, but I don't want to skip all tags". Well, skip what you want, but it won't be a good approach.

It would be even nice if i can able to replace style attribute used in any tag ...

Okay, very good, replace just this. But you should not have "style" attributes, you have to have only "class" attributes, and only when you really need different styles for identical tags. How about that?

can you please explain that via any example ..

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 30-Sep-13 12:38pm

What example? First of all, you can decide what do you want to use: Regex or perhasp HTML parser... And are you going to use "style" attribute in first place...
After all, write the code by yourself and ask a question if you face a problem.

Please see my comments to the question. Perhaps, you should not skip any HTML tags at all. If this is just the background colors, all you need to skip (or transform, for that matter), is CSS.

I hope your HTML uses CSS. (If colors are defined in some way other than CSS, think if you want to waste your time on such trash.)
