  Label control would itself show Normal text, even if it's Text property is some html content.

  Just check if your html text is proper or not, i mean all starting tags have ending tags etc.

  hi

  I think you want to remove the HTML tags and display it as plain text. 

  this is my sample showing the same 

  <asp:DataList ID="DataList1" runat="server">
              <ItemTemplate>
                  <asp:Label ID="lblCoursenews" runat="server" Text='<%# strConvert(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "h").ToString())%>' ForeColor="Green" Font-Bold="true"></asp:Label>
              </ItemTemplate>
          </asp:DataList>

  And then in your code behind copy the class file for conversion

  /// <summary>
  /// Methods to remove HTML from strings.
  /// </summary>
  public static class HtmlRemoval
  {
      /// <summary>
      /// Remove HTML from string with Regex.
      /// </summary>
      public static string StripTagsRegex(string source)
      {
          return Regex.Replace(source, "<.*?>", string.Empty);
      }
  
      /// <summary>
      /// Compiled regular expression for performance.
      /// </summary>
      static Regex _htmlRegex = new Regex("<.*?>", RegexOptions.Compiled);
  
      /// <summary>
      /// Remove HTML from string with compiled Regex.
      /// </summary>
      public static string StripTagsRegexCompiled(string source)
      {
          return _htmlRegex.Replace(source, string.Empty);
      }
  
      /// <summary>
      /// Remove HTML tags from string using char array.
      /// </summary>
      public static string StripTagsCharArray(string source)
      {
          char[] array = new char[source.Length];
          int arrayIndex = 0;
          bool inside = false;
  
          for (int i = 0; i < source.Length; i++)
          {
              char let = source[i];
              if (let == '<')
              {
                  inside = true;
                  continue;
              }
              if (let == '>')
              {
                  inside = false;
                  continue;
              }
              if (!inside)
              {
                  array[arrayIndex] = let;
                  arrayIndex++;
              }
          }
          return new string(array, 0, arrayIndex);
      }
  }

  and then in your page code behind do this to get rid of html tags while displaying.

      /// <summary>
      /// Remove HTML from string with compiled Regex.
      /// </summary>
      public static string StripTagsRegexCompiled(string source)
      {
          return _htmlRegex.Replace(source, string.Empty);
      }

  Hope it helps.thanks.
