Get plain text from an RTF text

Solution 1
Microsoft provides an example where they basically stick the rtf text in a RichTextBox
and then read the .Text
property... it feels somewhat kludgy, but it works.
static public string ConvertToText(string rtf)
{
using(RichTextBox rtb = new RichTextBox())
{
rtb.Rtf = rtf;
return rtb.Text;
}
}
Solution 2
for WPF you can use (using Xceed WPF Toolkit) this extension method :
public static string RTFToPlainText(this string s)
{
// for information : default Xceed.Wpf.Toolkit.RichTextBox formatter is RtfFormatter
Xceed.Wpf.Toolkit.RichTextBox rtBox = new Xceed.Wpf.Toolkit.RichTextBox(new System.Windows.Documents.FlowDocument());
rtBox.Text = s;
rtBox.TextFormatter = new Xceed.Wpf.Toolkit.PlainTextFormatter();
return rtBox.Text;
}

I have on my database a column that holds text in RTF format.
How can I get only the plain text of it, using C#?
Thanks :D
