Asp.net mvc - how to show rich text without the html tags?

Question

I DO NOT want to show the html tags in the content to the User. How to I do that?

 

I have a maintenance app that adds/edits blog content. It has a rich text editor.

 

When the content is saved in the SQL server database in a column defined as varchar(max), it saves it with html tags.

 

The edit feature retrieves the entry from the database and shows the html tags.

 

Now when I want to display the content to the User in a view (.cshtml), I DO NOT want to see the html tags.

 

Here is the view (not showing all of the code):

@model GbngWebClient.Models.BlogPublishedByBlogIdVM
<h2 class="page-header"><span class="blogtitle">@Session["BlogTitle"]</span></h2>
@{
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_LayoutUser.cshtml";
}
<div>
<a href="@Url.Action("LoadDropdownBlogCategorysInBlogsPublished", "BlogPublished")">Return To Select a Blog</a>
</div>
<br />
@if (Model != null)
{
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.BlogPublishedByBlogId.CreatedDateTime)
@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.BlogPublishedByBlogId.CreatedDateTime, new { @class = "form-control", @disabled = "disabled" })
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.BlogPublishedByBlogId.ModifiedDateTime)
@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.BlogPublishedByBlogId.ModifiedDateTime, new { @class = "form-control", @disabled = "disabled" })
@Html.DisplayFor(model => model.BlogPublishedByBlogId.BlogContent, new { @class = "form-control blogContent", @disabled = "disabled" })
}

Here are the models (not showing all of the properties):

namespace GbngWebClient.Models
{
public class BlogPublishedByBlogIdVM
{
public BlogPublishedByBlogIdVM()
{
this.BlogPublishedByBlogId = new BlogPublishedByBlogId();
}
public BlogPublishedByBlogId BlogPublishedByBlogId { get; set; }
}
}
using System;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
namespace GbngWebClient.Models
{
public class BlogPublishedByBlogId
{
[Required]
[Display(Name = "Content")]
public string BlogContent { get; set; }
}
}
