Binding Note field on GetDataTable showing unwanted div tag

Hi,

I have a Note field called "Description". I am trying to bind a asp.net listbox with the values of the Note field.

I have written the code as below:

SPList testList = oWeb.Lists["ListName"];
SPListItemCollection testListItems = testList.Items;
DataTable dtTestGroup = new DataTable();
if testListItems.Count > 0)
{
   dtTestGroup = testListItems.GetDataTable();
   lstDesc.DataTextField = "Description";
   lstDesc.DataValueField = "Description";
   lstDesc.DataSource = dtTestGroup;
   lstDesc.DataBind();
}

In the UI, now i am seeing the unwanted div tags at the front of the text.

For a normal list item, I can do a regex as below to remove the div entries

Regex.Replace(currentItem["Your Field Name"].ToString(), "<.*?>", string.Empty);

But, when using the "Datatextfield" and "datavaluefield", how to use the regex in the above condition? How to show only the text?

Thanks
