I think the following code will work for you:

public static string RemoveControlCharacters(string inString)

    if (inString == null) return null;
    StringBuilder newString = new StringBuilder();
    char ch;
    for (int i = 0; i < inString.Length; i++)
    {
        ch = inString[i];
        if (!char.IsControl(ch))
        {
            newString.Append(ch);
        }
    }
    return newString.ToString();
}
