I have a string defined like so:

```
private const String REFER_TO_BUSINESS = "<pre> (Refer to business office for guidance and explain below the circumstances for exception to policy or attach a copy of request)</pre>";

```

...which has, as you can see, the "pre" tag to preserve the space prepended to the verbiage. I want to, though, reference this string without the "pre" tags. It would be easy enough to search for "<pre>" and "</pre>" and remove them, but it would quickly become tedious to do that with every HTML tag type.

How can I, in C#, strip all tags out of a string, regardless of whether they are "<pre>", "<h1>", "<span>", "<aside>" or anything else?
