I'm using ASP.Net 2.0. I need to show data from a single field (as a hyperlink) but the column is to be repeated (RepeatColumns = 2). I have this in a DataList control and it is working fine. There is an additional requirement now to add a pager control, but it seems like I would have to use a GridView instead of a DataList in order to allow paging. The GridView doesn't have the capability to repeat columns however.

Repeat column doesn't work in grid view. You have to use datalist or repeater and provide paging manually. Mean you have to write your code to control provide and control paging. There are numerous ways to do this but the most easy one to use sorting of data in you query and get the desired number of rows by using an extra parameter.
