title: asp.net - How to render html tags in a ListItem text property?
body: <p>I have a DropDownList control that is populated via server side.</p>
  
  <p>I use a For Each [datarow] loop and create a New ListItem</p>
  
  <p>In the DataRow is a column with the ID 'Title'; this field may contain either &lt;B> or &lt;I> tags. (ex. "[Title] in &lt;i>[Parent Title]&lt;/i>")</p>
  
  <p>The problem I am facing is when I [DropDownList].Controls.Add([ListItem]) it renders the text literally... so it displays the &lt;B> or &lt;I> tags literally and doesn't bold/italicize the font.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried looking all over for an answer, can someone please point me in the right direction?</p>
