title: How do I add HTML to a ListItem in ASP/VB.net?
body: <p>If I use this code on my aspx page:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;asp:BulletedList ID="listClientContacts" runat="server"&gt;
      &lt;asp:ListItem&gt;&lt;b&gt;My Name&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/asp:ListItem&gt;
   &lt;/asp:BulletedList&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The text renders as literal <code>&lt;b&gt;My Name&lt;/b&gt;</code> instead of making the text bold. The same thing happens if I try to add a list item from the VB side of things:</p>
  
  <pre><code> Dim li As ListItem = New ListItem("&lt;b&gt;My Name&lt;/b&gt;")
   Me.listClientContacts.Items.Add(li)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to add HTML to a ListItem in ASP, or is there a better way to dynamically generate a list?</p>
