HtmlGenericControl[] objLi = {new HtmlGenericControl(),new HtmlGenericControl(),new HtmlGenericControl(), new HtmlGenericControl(), new HtmlGenericControl()}:
objLi[0].InnerHtml = "First element";
objLi[1].InnerHtml = "Second Element";

except that will fail with Null reference exception as you have not instantiated objLi[0] or objLi[1] HtmlGenericControl[] objLi = new HtmlGenericControl[5]; objLi[0] = new HtmlGenericControl(); objLi[0].InnerHtml = "First element"; objLi[1] = new HtmlGenericControl(); objLi[1].InnerHtml = "Second Element";
