You can use Literal, build HTML for the list and set .Text from Literal.



You can either copy the HTML for the list manually or you can create a Listbox in C # and use something like this to have C # export the HTML string to Literal.

There are two ways to do this that I can think of:

First, you can put a tag <asp:Placeholder />

on the page and create a list in code:



var select = new HtmlSelect() { Size = 5 };

//assuming the data has been placed in an IEnumarble
foreach (var item in items)
{
    select.Items.Add(new ListItem() { Value = item });
}
selectPlaceholder.Controls.Add(select);

Second, you can create a WebService or ashx handler to provide data and populate a list from javascript.
