populate a html list control using .NET

Question

I have a list defined like so:

    
Item 1
    


        

Answer 1

you can even use that HTML, adding runat="server" you will be able to treat it as a HTMLControl no mater what control it is, I do this often with div's

    
Item 1
    
Item 2

then you get that HTMLControl and play with it

HtmlGenericControl li;

for (int x = 3; x <= 10; x++)
{
    li = new HtmlGenericControl("li");
    li.Attributes.Add("class", "myItemClass");
    li.InnerText = "Item " + x;

    myList.Controls.Add(li);
}

you will end up with:

    

        
Item 1
        
Item 2
        
Item 3
        
Item 4
        
Item 5
        
Item 6
        
Item 7
        
Item 8
        
Item 9
        
Item 10
            
    

of course that you can use an ordered or unorderer list, they also below to the ASP.NET Web Controls.
