DropDown Control

[ATCIT]

Hi,
I'm new over, hence should be excused for any funny question on my part.
I want to show a Greek symbol (which is in the database as δ ) as an item in a dropdown control. I have kept the data as δ so that IE can display it correctly but in the dropdown control it shows as δ, my client obviously wants to see the symbol delta. Is there any way I can do that?

You can't use an HTML escape code and expect it to display properly except in a browser or something else that renders HTML. You'd have to use the String.Replace to substitute the appropriate character before displaying. This is going to preclude you from simply binding the table you get from the database to the control.

I mean to say that the DropDownList control itself doesn't render HTML code, not that you aren't inside a browser window.
