Is there a question in this somewhere?
I guess it IS a simple question.
Here is the answer to the question " "

[William F. Robertson, Jr.]

I had to override the RenderContents method of the listbox control, manually
putting out the <option> tags and data.

Before I wrote the Text of the ListItem out, I replaced all ' ' with
'&nbsp;' to get the desired columned effect.

I don't know if this works but here is a google search solution. Be careful
of screen wrap.

Great Link!

I noticed that the code was using the string writer and I wondered why... so
I tried a little experiment and came up with this function:

Private Function Pad(ByVal numberOfSpaces As Int32) As String

Dim Spaces As String

For items As Int32 = 1 To numberOfSpaces

Spaces &= "&nbsp;"

Next

Return Server.HtmlDeco de(Spaces)

End Function

Now you can call it and add as many spaces to the front or back of a drop
down list item:

DropDownList1.I tems.Add(Pad(5) & "Indented")
