Hi there.

Im doing a website and would like to change the font-weight to bold in a listbox from the code section.

I need to add different values from the code during runtime and would like to bold a single word.

Any help?

You can do this.

C#

ListItem item = new ListItem();
item.Text = "A bold item";
item.Attributes.Add("style", "font-weight:bold");
ListBox1.Items.Add(item);

Solution 2

You need to write a custom control that lets you use HTML in the list items (evidently, it's difficult to make it work under all of the browsers). I know there are controls out there you can buy if you want to go that route. Here's one:

Solution 3

Every item has a fontweight attribute.
So you will need to do something similar to item.Attributes.Add("style", "font-weight:bold"); via code to make this work.
