I would suggest just bind a repeater or datalist or something to a dataset

what's a hash table?

ultimate_girl:
A hash table is a data structure that holds key-value pairs. In other words I could add an item to a hash table like so:

MyHashTable.Add("Key", "Value);

and then access the value by referencing the key:

MyValue = MyHashTable("Key");

joshi_nitin:
You can't use HashTables to display data they are purely a data structure.

You could populate a HashTable from your database and then databind it to a datalist or repeater as plenderj suggested.

Generally speaking though a DataTable is used as the data structure as it has methods in place to populate it automatically from a database query rather than having to write all the code to do this manually into a Hash Table.

Let me know if you need to know more.
