Question

I have ul elements in usercontrol like below

<u><ul>
  <li id="liMiddle" class="off">
                    <a href="#">One
                    </a>
                    <ul id="One" runat="server">

                </ul>
              </li>
              <li id="liMiddle" class="off">
                <a href="#">Two
                </a>
                <ul id="Two" runat="server">

                </ul>
              </li>
              <li id="liMiddle" class="off">
                <a href="#">Three
                </a>
                <ul id="Three" runat="server">

                </ul>

foreach (SPWeb supersubsite in subsites)
{
int i = 0;
HtmlGenericControl li = new HtmlGenericControl(“li”);

                        CurrentTab.Controls.Add(li);

                        HtmlGenericControl anchor = new HtmlGenericControl("a");
                        anchor.Attributes.Add("href", supersubsite.Url);
                        anchor.InnerText = supersubsite.Title;
                        li.Controls.Add(anchor);
                       } </u> 

Here in each loop Current tab should be changed to corresponding next ul id. How to access it?

I have to generate ‘li’ elements dynamically under above ul’s. So I need to access all the ‘ul’ id’s one by one in the codebehind.

Can anybody tell me the solution?

I would implement a collection in codebehind where you can add listitems by presenter/controller or in page_load/click_events/..
And then simple looping in an ASP.NET MVC style..

// YourPage.aspx.cs:
private readonly ICollection<string> items = new Collection<string> { "one", "two" };

// YourPage.aspx
<ul>
    <% foreach (var stringItem in this.items) { %>
    <li><%= stringItem %></li>
    <% } %>
</ul>
