How can I get in a dropdownlist/ListItem?

Question

I want to add two strings into one listitem in the form string1+	+string2 but because the dropdownlist or the listitem translate the code into HTML-code all blanks will be removed. Anyone know how to workaround this problem?

This may seem simplistic but is there a problem with putting spaces in? string s1 = s1 s2 = s2 s3; s3 = s1+	+s2; //this shows the TAB character in the middle. In most fonts that's a squarish-looking symbol. comboBox1.Items.Add(s3); //this shows spaces in the middle. comboBox1.Items.Add(s1+ +s2); The TAB character is only going to be displayed as a series of spaces if the selected font contains a character that looks like that. I don't know of a such a font. Using spaces is usually sufficient if you set the font to a proportional font (courier* lucida*) and if the user can't edit the text. What do you mean that the dropdownlist translates it into HTML code? As far as I know it does no such thing.
