Datagrid - shown vertically instead of horizontally?

[Tmuld]

Hello,

I have a page that needs to only show 1 record at a time - but there
are many fields - I want to display it vertically instead of
hornizonatlly.

The headers will run vertically as well.

Sort of like this

Name : George
Address: House
Phone : 555-5555
Email : (e-mail address removed)
Pet : Dog
<many more fields>

As opposed to
Name Address Phone Email Pet <many more fields>
data data data data data

There is something called Datalist - not sure how to use it - it has an
option on it to for vertical or horizontal columns - but only for
repeaters. The Datagrid does not have this option.

Or is there a better way?

Thank,

Tmuld

Just use a form and populate the text boxes from the selected record.
As you navigate through the datatables repopulate each control.

The datagrid is designed to show multiple records.

The record has 30 fields.

Would I create 30 textboxes and bind them to each field? And have 30
labels beside each textbox?

I was hoping the datagrid could be displayed vertically. But if that
what has to be done, that is what has to be done.

Thanks,

Hi,

Sorry I do not have an example but you want to create a pivot
table.

What is a pivot tabel and is it available with VS 2003?

Thanks,
