public class MyClass1

{

    public string Name

    { get; set; }

}

public class MyClass2

{

    public string Name

    { get; set; }

    public MyClass1 Class1

    private void BindGrid()

    {

        List<MyClass2> obj = new List<MyClass2>();

        obj.Add(new MyClass2() { Name = "Class2_1", Class1 = new MyClass1() { Name = "Class1_1" } });

        obj.Add(new MyClass2() { Name = "<br/><br/><br/>hi", Class1 = new MyClass1() { Name = "<br/><br/><br/>hi" } });

        obj.Add(new MyClass2() { Name = "Class2_2", Class1 = null});

        grd.DataSource = obj;

        grd.DataBind();
