Sel what I've done myself is to create a CLR function that returns RTF2Text, or vice versa;
that's the best way i know of, because the RichTextBox from windows.forms handles ALL the rules you might miss with more complex RTF documents, by just doing string manipulation.
If it's an option, i can post an example project.
