Literal Controls

I am getting a set of row in the dataset. I have to loop through it and show it on the page. I have added asp.net(web) table control on the page.

I am making the coulmns of the table as literal controls in the code behind. I am using vb.net as code behind.

My code is:

Code:

---

' Generate rows and cells

        If j = 0 Then
            r = New TableRow

                'Make a column State
            Dim c1 As TableCell = New TableCell
            c1.Controls.Add(New LiteralControl("State"))
            r.Cells.Add(c1)

            tblBreakOut.Rows.Add(r)

        End If

---

The above code does not show looping. That is happening fine.
I just want to format the cell. I want 'State' to appear in bold. How to do that?
