Introducing BulletedList control

Introducing BulletedList control

This brand new BulletedList control is inherited from the class of “System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListControl”, where a list of items will be generated in a bulleted format. It's just like its brother control:

CheckBoxList
DropDownList
RadioButtonList
ListBox

Placing ListItem object in the BulletedList control manually or binded from a data source, developers can customize the "Bullet" of this control with BulletStyle property and the following are the most commonly use:

Circle	Disc	LowerAlpha
LowerRoman	Numbered	Square
UpperAlpha	UpperRoman	CustomImage

Title: Direct Post

It is pretty easy to redirect to another page: (The display style has to be "Hyperlink")

ListItem item = new ListItem(Title, Url);
BulletedList.Items.Add(item);

That´s it.

In response to Russ's comments. Although it's not necessarily intuitive, when you are using the BulletedList and you have the display mode set to URL, ListItem.Value renders the link url, ListItem.Text renders the display.

Title: Still Can't Post Directly to Another Page

The control is essentially useless because we still can not post driectly to another page. Like most .NET controls, why isn't there an "Url" attribute and a way to append a query string? True we can use the onclick, capture the event in the code-behind, then redirect with an appended query string, but why cause two requests on the server and skew logging and traffic metrics? Even 5 years after the advent of .NET, Microsoft still thinks a website can be built with a single page.
