I am using a asp.net drop down list and it's pulling in a collection of Category Names. The category names have html tags in them like firstname'<'br /'>'lastname. I want to get rid of those tags only in the Drop Down List, I can't change the name. Right now, the break tags show in the drop down.

You can use String.Replace method in Databoud event
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ddCategories.DataBound += dd_DataBound;
}
void dd_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (ListItem listItem in ddCategories.Items)
{
listItem.Text = listItem.Text.Replace(@"</br>", string.Empty);
}
}
or regular expressions for remove all HTML tags:
Regex regex = new Regex("<[^>]+>");
listItem.Text= regex.Replace(listItem.Text, " ");
