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.

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.

Thanks for your reply. But Is it possible to get such output by using telerik RadComboBox? – Amruta Jun 12 '12 at 07:19

Try this:

  String str = "Yerevan Airport &lt;BR /&gt; UB21 &lt;BR /&gt;";
  String strHtml = Server.HtmlDecode(str);

Apart from the fact that `
` wasn't asked for, this is just manually html-encoding and then decoding which will result in exactly the same string literal the OP started with. – Filburt Jun 12 '12 at 07:30
