Passing &nbsp in drpdown dataset

[Vikram]

i am adding a row in dataset , in which i want to add
  (space chracter for html) and then want to bind
dataset to asp.net dropdown list box. But & automatically
converted to &amp chracter.
Is there any way by which   can be retained as it is
when dropdown throws the html part.

THanks

Vikram:
you need to HtmlDecode  

Do something like this:

public static string DecodedSpaces(int numberOfSpaces)
{
string spaces = "";
for (int i = 0; i <= numberOfSpaces; ++i)
{
spaces += "&nbsp;";
}
return HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(spaces);
}
