DataSet in Grid Format

[velvetskies]

Hi, i am new to ASP.NET.

How do i display display data in a grid format, with the use of datagrid, that it repeats the rows in data set in vertical and horizontal direction. it will look like this in html:

<table>
<tr>
<td>dataset Row1</td>
<td>dataset Row2</td>
<td>dataset Row3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>dataset Row4</td>
<td>dataset Row5</td>
<td>dataset Row6</td>
</tr>
</table>

thanks!!!

Just bind the datagrid to the dataset.

dg1.DataSource = dsDataSet
    dg1.DataBind()

Just bind the datagrid to the dataset.

dg1.DataSource = dsDataSet
    dg1.DataBind()

Mendhak, shouldnt it be binded to a DataTable(e.g dsDataSet.Tables[0]) instead of DataSet? Or will it show all the DataTable using a link, something like WinForm datagrid? I never tried it, so not sure.

No, the + thing happens in VB.NET only.

I think what I posted is right, but since you've posted, you've confused me. However, I'm just too lazy to open up vs.net and check, so I won't.

Hi,

thanks for the reply.. but i think i'm clear abt describing my problem.. what i want to acheive is to display the rows in both direction.. what we usually get for the datagrid is that rows repeat vertically OR horizontally. so each of my rows in the datagrid will be displayed in one <td>.. so it will display as:

<table>
<tr>
<td>Row 1 ID<br>
Row 1 Description
</td>
<td>Row 2 ID<br>
Row 2 Description
</td>
<td>Row 3 ID<br>
Row 3 Description
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Row 4 ID<br>
Row 4 Description
</td>
<td>Row 5 ID<br>
Row 5 Description
</td>
<td>Row 6 ID<br>
Row 6 Description
</td>
</tr>
</table>


is that acheivable?
