<asp:DropDownList >

It just doesn't work like that - - you need to either bind data to the
datalist in code, or manually add the items, one by one, where you're doing
it.
How are you arriving at 'strItems'?

I called a Function which takes value from my database
and interweaves them with html and then populates my
variable strItems.

strItems will contain <asp:LIstItem>Test1</asp:ListItem>
etc etc.
