Try this regular expression:

<!--.*?-->

Please note: You have to use RegexOptions.SingleLine to change the meaning of the dot (.) so it matches every character (instead of every character except \n).

Edit: code sample

var myRegex = new Regex(@"<!--.*?-->", RegexOptions.Singleline);
string strTargetString = @"[sample text here]";

string replacedText = myRegex.Replace(strTargetString, "");

thanks i tried but it failed. also there are code blocks like my second example at updated first post regex = new Regex(@"", RegexOptions.Singleline); regex.Replace(srBody, ""); – Furkan Gözükara Dec 30 '12 at 18:40
I tested it in Regex Hero (http://regexhero.net/tester/) and it works fine for me. It's important that you use the option `RegexOptions.SingleLine`, it makes all the difference. – Rui Jarimba Dec 30 '12 at 18:42
No prob, I'm glad I could help :) – Rui Jarimba Dec 30 '12 at 18:52
