Hi! I need to create a list of music categories, that list is arranged in columns and rows. It is possible to make that with SqlDataSouce and another server side control ? I need to make it with minimum of coding if it is possible.

No, there is no easy way to take a single list (I assume you only have the single item of data, i.e. 'category') and display it in a box layout. You will likely have to hand code it yourself using a table.

Think before you post: What have you tried?

I guess it depends on how you want to display and order your data. If you want to display it like this:

Then it's pretty easy with an <ul> element and <li> elements with a width and a float property. If you want to display it like this:

Then it's indeed not very easy....

Cheers,

I think if you want to arrange of list categories

In the database you should add a "ORDERs" fields.
The "ORDERS" fields by type tinyint.
It is very easy to write SQL query "Select * from Categories order by ORDERS ASC/DESC "

May be it help you

if u dynamically want to access the list then u have to use dataset or datatable to aceess in gridview or datagrid,

to access the static list simple use a table add rows and columns and show it without any data access from database.
