Is there a way to have five columns in an asp.net data list and to only display 5 rows per column. So it would result in this format

1  6
2  7
3  8
4  9
5  10

I’ve set the repeat direction to ‘vertical’ already and set repeat columns to 5 but it’s showing 8 per column for 5 columns.

    To get 5 rows and 5 columns, then your DataSource needs to contain 25 items:

    HTML:

    <!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <asp:DataList ID="myDataList" runat="server" 
            RepeatColumns="5" 
            CellPadding="10" 
            ForeColor="#333333" 
            RepeatLayout="Table" 
            ShowFooter="False" 
            ShowHeader="False">
            <AlternatingItemStyle BackColor="White" />
            <ItemStyle BackColor="#EFF3FB" />
            <SelectedItemStyle BackColor="#D1DDF1" 
                Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#333333" />
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Label ID="myLabel" runat="server" 
                    Text="<%# Container.DataItem.ToString() %>" />
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:DataList>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

    C# CodeBehind:

    using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

public partial class test7 : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        List<int> myList = new List<int>();

        for(int i=1; i<26; i++) {
            myList.Add(i);
        }

        myDataList.DataSource = myList;
        myDataList.DataBind();
    }
}

    Output:
