Use the BulletedList.FirstBulletNumber property to specify the value that starts the numbering of list items in an ordered System.Web.UI.WebControls.BulletedList control. The value that is assigned to the BulletedList.FirstBulletNumber property is ignored, if the BulletedList.BulletStyle property is set to the BulletStyle.Disc, BulletStyle.Square, BulletStyle.Circle, or BulletStyle.CustomImage values. Although the value of the BulletedList.FirstBulletNumber property is an integer, it does not always cause a bullet to render as a number. For example, if you set the BulletedList.FirstBulletNumber property to 4 and set the BulletedList.BulletStyle property to the value BulletStyle.LowerAlpha, the first bullet number will render as a lowercase d.

The value of this property is stored in view state.
