Generate a table like structure from a database.

[Mufasa]

I'm at a loss here - I'm trying to create a table type structure from a
dataset. I've got say 18 records and I want to display a specific piece of
information from each record but I'd like to display it in a table format -
say 5 columns wide and there would be four rows.

I know this is easy I just don't know which control to use. So if I wanted
to do animals names it would create something like:

penguins bears antelop racoons tigers
wombats bats caribu

......


You get the idea.

DataList. Look at RepeatColumns property.
