First create a string that would look something like this:
string linkFormat = "<p class=\"plineheight\"><a href=\"{0}\" target=\"_blank\" >{1} </a><br/> {2} </p><hr> ";
then pull your data from your database then do something like this:
string item = string.Format(linkFormat, row["URL"], row["DisplayText"], row["Description"]);
Then place on your page. In my case I just add it to a div
althChkItems.Add(item);
