How to add element inside ListItem in code behind?

Question

I want to add something like this in the code behind:

<ul>
   <li><a>A</a></li>
</ul>

However, the ListItem of ASP.NET seems to allow text only:

BulletedList UserSubMenuList = new BulletedList();
ListItem EditUserItem = new ListItem("Edit Profile"); 

Is there other way to add content between <li></li> tag with code behind rather then using HtmlGenericControl?

Answer 1

Front :

<ul id="test" runat="server">

</ul>

Back:

Label label1=new Label();

label1="test";

test.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<li>")); 

test.Controls.Add(label1); 

test.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("</li>"))
