display mutiple rows data fields for single record

[Chris]

I would like to know how to display data column for a single record contains many fields. Likes the first row shows first 5 fields, 2nd row show next 5 fields, etc...
I tried to use datagrid, datalist and datarepeater and could not get it to work. Do you know a way to do it, if so, how do you bind data to it.

Lastname firstname midlle name id
xxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxx xxxxxx
Parent/Guardians address city zip
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx

You should be able to do this by embedding HTML in a datalist. Here is an
example:

<asp:datalist id="Results" runat="server">
<HeaderTemplate>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>Field 1</td>
<td>Field 2</td>
<td>Field 3</td>
</tr>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<tr>
<td><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, ("Field1")) %></td>
<td><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, ("Field2")) %></td>
<td><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, ("Field3")) %></td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
<FooterTemplate>
</table>
</FooterTemplate>
</asp:datalist>

Hope this helps.... Rich
