Gridview question

[Bishop]

I want to find out if there is a way to use the gridview to list products
simular to the listing on this page:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/103-7922422-8587868?&node=1045744&field-pctoffbin=50% - 70% off

I'm guessing this may be better suited for a datalist but I am much more
famular with the gridview that I'd like to find out if I can use that first.
Also I like the built in paging and sorting that the gridview offers.

I don't think is possible because of the columns repeater (or at least
didn't find a way ^^)

Which control would be best used for this? (asp.net 2005)

The DataList gives you the ability to "3 wide" it.

But doesn't give you the paging/sorting of the GridView.

for a DataList example



Maybe you can integrate them, I've never attempted it.



If you figure something out, post it back!

Way back in asp.net 2003 I did sorting and paging with a datalist. I
just used variables to hold were I was and modified my SQL Query acordingly.
I'll probably just do the same thing here. Always looking for a better
solution though.
