Add to List from codebehind C# Asp.net

Question

I have a UL list in a ASPX page:

 
Tab 1
 
         


        

Answer 1

You can create a dynamic UL by using an asp:Repeater Control

You can use repeater in following way, in your .aspx file

    
    

    
    
        

        
        <%# Eval("DisplayText")%>
        
    
    
        
    

And you can put dynamic data via code behind in .aspx.cs file

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    DataTable newsDataTable = new DataTable();

    // add some columns to our datatable
    newsDataTable.Columns.Add("href_li");
    newsDataTable.Columns.Add("DisplayText");

    for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
    {
        DataRow newsDataRow = newsDataTable.NewRow();
        newsDataRow["href_li"] = "?sc=item_" + i;
        newsDataRow["DisplayText"] = "List Item # "+i;
        newsDataTable.Rows.Add(newsDataRow);
    }
    menu_ul_1.DataSource = newsDataTable;
    menu_ul_1.DataBind();
}

Result: You will get following html through this code

    
List Item # 1 
    
List Item # 2 
    
List Item # 3 
    
List Item # 4 
    
List Item # 5
