best method

Hi-

hopefully this is an easy one. I have a information page, that has different activities. each activity has multiple categories. in these categories is just a long list of things. i want the list to be in mulitple columns in a table. My query returns the list, now i need a good way to create the table. datagrid would be sweet if i could make one column of data show as multiple. any other control other than trying to make a dynamic table work that you can think of?

thanks.

well... you could still use the datagrid; use a template column for the column thats going to have a list of values. Use a listbox or something for that template column.

i don't under stand how i would do that... i'll have a list like:

val1
val2 
val3
val4

and i want it to look like:

val1  val2
val3  val4

Do you know how many columns you want to split the one column into? If you do then I have just the thing. It's rather long and I am rather lazy so tell me if this what you are looking for and I'll post the code I used to accomplish this.

That'l do donkey, that'l do

actually... got it doing what i needed with a datalist and repeat columns, didn't even know that attribute was there.

Thanks anyway
