So I created this ListView user control in VB, and specified my data source. The layout I used is “single row” layout and the paging is enabled. However, the result is exactly 10 columns (10 windows) for the row. I’m wondering how could I make the default column to be 5? I checked the properties and there seems to be no such property that controls how many columns to start with for the row.
Thanks

I found out that the default number of records to be shown can be specified in the pager control:
asp:DataPager ID=”DataPager1″ runat=”server” PageSize=”5″
combined with GroupItemCount property, the problem is solved. Thanks all for the help anyways.
