Wrapping Columns in a Table

[Guest]

I am having problems trying to wrap items that I get back from a DataSet. For instance, I get a list of 50 states that I want to display in 5 columns, 10 rows. I've looked into the DataGrid and Repeater controls, but can't seem to find how I can do it. I can do it programmatically, but that is a bit quirky. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks,

David

If you are simply displaying one item (or a couple you can truncate into a
"single field"), try a DataList. You can use a DataList1.RepeatDirection =
RepeatDirection.Horizontal and DataList1.RepeatColumns = 5.

Use the DataList. You can set its RepeatColumns and RepeatDirection properties to get what you want
