show data in columns using gridview

Question

Hi I am trying to show data in 2 column.. e.g

col       col            

A          E       
B          F       
C          G       
D          H

I am able to show single column but I am unable to show 2 columns, when I add the new field in gridview to show the columns it displays the same column. like

col       col            

A          A       
B          B       
C          C       
D          D

I wanted to show data in continuity. Please suggest me a solution. Thanks

I would suggest you to use Datalist rather than Grid view, you can set your columns easily in datalist. — Krunal Patil

I think you should consider using a DataList control instead of the GridView.

Here is a quite nice tutorial about how to use it, and here you can find information about it's RepeatDirection, RepeatLayout and RepeatColumns properties.

For example, by setting RepeatColumns to 2, RepeatLayout to "Table" and RepeatDirection to "Vertical" you can achieve the layout you are after:

A   E
B   F
C   G 
D   H

If you are curious about the performance of the control you can find a nice comparison here.
