Hi,

Yours is an interesting problem. I tried it out and managed to create a Gridview and do what you needed to do. I am giving below some code here. What my application does is to create a table with 4 columns called Col1, Col2, Col3 and Col4. This table has 2 records with values "1", "2" ,"3" and "4" for the 4 columns of the first row and "5", "6", "7" and "8" for the 4 columns of the second row of the table. These two rows are displayed as bulleted lists in the grid view. To try it out open a sample application in VS 2005 and substitute the code for the HTML page and the code behind for the Default page with what I give below.

HTML code for Default.aspx

Code:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"  CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" OnRowDataBound="GridView1_RowDataBound">
            <Columns>
                <asp:TemplateField>
                    <ItemTemplate>
                         <asp:BulletedList ID="nbullet" runat="server">                                                  
                         </asp:BulletedList>                      
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>
            </Columns>
        </asp:GridView>
        &nbsp;</div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

And here is the code for Default.aspx.cs

Code:

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page 
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
            DataTable dt = new DataTable("MyTable");
            dt.Columns.Add("Col1", System.Type.GetType("System.String"));
            dt.Columns.Add("Col2", System.Type.GetType("System.String"));
            dt.Columns.Add("Col3", System.Type.GetType("System.String"));
            dt.Columns.Add("Col4", System.Type.GetType("System.String"));
            DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();
            dt.Rows.Add(dr);
            dt.Rows[0]["Col1"] = "1";
            dt.Rows[0]["Col2"] = "2";
            dt.Rows[0]["Col3"] = "3";
            dt.Rows[0]["Col4"] = "4";
            DataRow dr1 = dt.NewRow();
            dt.Rows.Add(dr1);
            dt.Rows[1]["Col1"] = "5";
            dt.Rows[1]["Col2"] = "6";
            dt.Rows[1]["Col3"] = "7";
            dt.Rows[1]["Col4"] = "8";

            GridView1.DataSource = dt.DefaultView;
            GridView1.DataBind();
    }


    protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
        {
            BulletedList b =(BulletedList)e.Row.FindControl("nbullet");
            ListItem l1 = new ListItem(DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "Col1").ToString(), DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "Col1").ToString());
            ListItem l2 = new ListItem(DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "Col2").ToString(), DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "Col2").ToString());
            ListItem l3 = new ListItem(DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "Col3").ToString(), DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "Col3").ToString());
            ListItem l4 = new ListItem(DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "Col4").ToString(), DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "Col4").ToString());
            b.Items.Add(l1);
            b.Items.Add(l2);
            b.Items.Add(l3);
            b.Items.Add(l4);
        }
    }
}

If you run the code you will see 2 bulletted lists for the 2 records. I hope you can adapt this code to suit your purposes.

Warm Regards,
