Hello Friends! :)

I am working on my College Major Project.

My project contains a part, where the Admin will post News (using Editor like a Blog).

This News is then stored in Database.

Now I want to retrieve "top 2" news and post them on Home page.

I am retirieving data and displaying it all in a Label Control on Home page.

I want to provide the following Format to the News :

Title With Hyperlink

News News News....
....
...
..... News.


I am using the following Code to retrieve the data, but I am not able the get the above mentioned layout.

foreach (DataRow dr in DS.Tables[0].Rows)
        {
            
            for (int j = 0 ; j < 2 ; j++)
            {

                lblNews.Text = "<b> <font size=4>" + lblNews.Text + "<br /> <br />" + Convert.ToString(dr[j]) + "</font></b>"; 
            }

        }

Is there any other way to access all the Retrieved data?

Thanks :)

I think I framed the question in wrong fashion.

I want to display content like it is done in Wordpress.

Eg: On Wordpress's Main Page, you see top few posts. And when you click on their Title, you go to another page where you can read the whole post.

This is what I am trying to do :)
