Display data from DB in table other than DataGrid

[msmith425]

I'm trying to display data in a hand made (a la old asp) table so that my table headers and data are displayed vertically rather than horizontally.

Is it possible to bind data from a database to a text label in a cell? Is there another way of doing what I want with the DataGrid that I'm just not aware of?

TIA

I usually end up using loops to fill tables that I create dynamically. I can generally limit one dimension of the table so it does not get too complex. Then I just create a new row in the table and add the data.

No clue on the DataGrid, but my guess is that you cannot do what you want using the DataGrid.

With a datagrid, you'd need to pivot your table.

Otherwise, it will take a repeater, or the old (ACK!) way like you would have in ASP Classic.

Check out the docs & google on the repeater control, and see if that will serve your needs.
