How do I make a string variable (in c#) bold when converting to html?

Question

I have this code in C#/ASP.net

foreach (String projectType in ProjectsByProjectType.Keys)
{
    HtmlTableRow trh = new HtmlTableRow();
    HtmlTableCell tdProjectType = new HtmlTableCell();
    tdProjectType.InnerHtml = projectType;
    trh.Controls.Add(tdProjectType);
    tableLocal.Controls.Add(trh);
}

When this line runs

tdProjectType.InnerHtml = projectType; 

I'd like the text within the innerHTML to be in a bold font type (so take the string referenced by 'projectType' and make it bold). How do I do this?

Answer 1

You can try

foreach (String projectType in ProjectsByProjectType.Keys)
{
    HtmlTableRow trh = new HtmlTableRow();
    HtmlTableCell tdProjectType = new HtmlTableCell();
    tdProjectType.InnerHtml = "<b>"+projectType+"</b>";
    trh.Controls.Add(tdProjectType);
    tableLocal.Controls.Add(trh);
}

Answer 2

Use a <b> tag:

 tdProjectType.InnerHtml = "<b>" + projectType + "</b>";

Answer 3

I think the semantically correct way would be to use one of the following in preferential order

tdProjectType.InnerHtml = "<h2>" + projectType "</h2>";

or whichever h tag you want to use

tdProjectType.InnerHtml = "<strong>" + projectType "</strong>"; tdProjectType.InnerHtml = "<b>" + projectType "</b>";

Answer 4

This is quite simple you just need to write the string in bold tags like:

<b> String</b>
