Format option text string

Question

How can I display selected part of an asp.net string with HTML Formatting.

Eg:

String str= "Yerevan Airport(<B>UB21</B>,AM-ER,Yerevan,)";

I need to display the text enclosed in <B> and </B> in bold and display it as text in RADComboBox .

I have tried it with using StringBuilder , HttpUtility.Htmlencode, String.Format but couldn't find any proper solution.

Answer 1

What you are trying to achieve is not possible.

The DropDownList control of ASP.Net renders to a html <select> control which doesn't allow markup inside it's <option> elements.

Answer 2

Try this:

  String str = "Yerevan Airport <BR /> UB21 <BR />";
  String strHtml = Server.HtmlDecode(str);
