Re: Get Value of Non-ASP.NET Control

I'm rendering a listbox from code rather than using the ASP.NET ListBox control. So I write <select> and <option> tags to the output.

Hmm - any particular reason...?

Yes, the one I described in my original post.

Assuming all you're trying to achieve is to indent the text portions of the list options, there's no need to do any of this...

Were you just going to express disbelief, or did you have a comment?

The latter...

I really think I have addressed this more than you are giving me credit for.

OK...

I'm happy to post some specific part of the code if you ask.

Now we're getting somewhere...

// Note: We need to render listbox manually do allow unencoded "&nbsp;"

No we don't...

<asp:ListBox ID="lstTest" runat="server" />

lstTest.Items.Add(new ListItem("Please choose a category for this submission...", "-1"));
lstTest.Items.Add(new ListItem(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode("&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;") + "First option", "1"));
lstTest.Items.Add(new ListItem(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode("&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;") + "Second option", "2"));
lstTest.Items.Add(new ListItem(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode("&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;") + "Third option", "3"));
lstTest.Items.Add(new ListItem(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode("&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;") + "Fourth option", "4"));
