If you're going to be repeating this, might as well have an extension method:

// appends a string class to the html controls class attribute
public static void AddClass(this HtmlControl control, string newClass)
{
    if (control.Attributes["class"].IsNotNullAndNotEmpty())
    {
        control.Attributes["class"] += " " + newClass;
    }
    else
    {
        control.Attributes["class"] = newClass;
    }
}
