Instead of binding your dataset to a datagrid, bind it to a repeater
control.  Then in the template of the repeater you can layout everything you
want in HTML.

Subject: [aspx] how to display data in label like format?


Newbie question:
I'm working throught Beginning ASP.NET Databases using VB.NET (Wrox
Press), would like to display the Northwind Employees in bunches of 10
(like p181-2) but in a label like format rather than one employee per
row.  So, for example:

Fn1 Ln1
Address1
City1, State1 Zip1

Fn2 Ln2
Address2
City2, State2 Zip2

...

Can anyone point me to an example of that?  Maybe I have to create a
custom control for the format and refer to it instead of a DataGrid?  Or
is the DataGrid more flexible than the examples I've seen so far?  TIA.
