Question

The following compile error occurs:

Parser Error Message: The ‘Text’ property of ‘asp:ListItem’ does not allow child objects.

Source Error:

Line 468: </asp:ListItem>
Line 469: <asp:ListItem Value="3">
Line 470: Search only continuing stories with at least&nbsp; <input runat="server" id="episodetb" Value="0" style="width:50px" />

Search singular and continuing stories
</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="1">
Search only singular stories
</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="2">
Search only continuing stories
</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="3">
Search only continuing stories with at least&nbsp; <input runat="server" id="episodetb" Value="0" style="width:50px" />
episodes
</asp:ListItem>
</asp:RadioButtonList >

Answer 1

You can create this using the literal control and adding the controls to a panel or placeholder.

VB

Dim list_startul as New Literal
list_startul.text = "<ul>"

Dim list_li as New Literal
lisstt_li.text = "<li><label>Hello!</label></li>"

Dim list_endul as New Literal
list_endul.text = "</ul>"

panel.controls.add(list_startul)
panel.controls.add(list_li)
panel.controls.add(list_endul)
