Two practical ways to lay out items horizontally in ASP.NET WebForms were missed in the thread. noted TemplateColumns (TemplateColumn in a DataGrid) — that defines per-column templates in a tabular grid but does not change the control's flow. is correct that transposing the dataset (pivoting rows into columns) will work when you need a true rotated table. For most "show items left-to-right, then wrap" scenarios you do not need to modify the data: use a DataList or a Repeater and a layout property or CSS.

A simple DataList approach:

<asp:DataList ID="DataList1" runat="server" RepeatDirection="Horizontal" RepeatColumns="4">
  <ItemTemplate>
    <%# Eval("FieldName") %>
  </ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>

RepeatDirection="Horizontal" makes items flow across, and RepeatColumns controls how many items per row before wrapping.

If you want full control of markup and CSS, use a Repeater and style each item:

<asp:Repeater ID="rpt" runat="server">
  <ItemTemplate>
    <div class="box"><%# Eval("FieldName") %></div>
  </ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
.box { display:inline-block; width:150px; margin:6px; vertical-align:top; }

If the requirement is a true pivoted table (rows become columns with header labels), transform the DataTable in code-behind or pivot in SQL before binding. Use the control-based approach for layout concerns; use data transformation when the underlying data shape must change.

i think this would be something you would modify your dataset, then binding your mod dataset would give you that result
