Q: 

Tab space in ASP.NET listbox

Hi, Anyone know how to insert tab characters in an ASP.NET listbox? I want to use it so that all my items are lined up because i have two fields on each line a number and a name. In winforms all I have to do is:

Listbox.Items.Add(number + "\t" + name);

But in ASP.NET Webforms this doesnt work any ideas?

A: 

In the ASP.NET listbox, you can't do this. Why don't you use a GridView control instead ?

I need to be the user to be able to select an item and then do processing from that selection, I didnt think you could do that with a gridview
