Question

I know the solution must be simple.

I want to add list item programmatically with html tags inside the li

string x = "xxxx <br/> yyyy"

BulletedList.items.add(x)

I want to see

1. xxx
   yyy

and not

1. xxx <br/> yyy

Answer 1

To have greater flexibility over the HTML rendered on each list element, consider using a Repeater or a ListView instead. They require a little more HTML to set up your <ul> and <li> tags, but will give you arbitrary flexibility over the contents of the <li>.

<ul>
<asp:Repeater ID="repeater" runat="server">
    <ItemTemplate>
    <li>
        <div>Any HTML or data binding you want.</div>
    </li>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
</ul>
