Remarks

Use the RepeatLayout property to specify whether the items in the DataList control are displayed in a table. The only RepeatLayout values that are supported by the DataList control are Table and Flow.

If this property is set to RepeatLayout.Table, the items in the list are displayed in a table. If this property is set to RepeatLayout.Flow, the items in the list are displayed without a table structure.

When the DataList control is displayed in a table, you can use the GridLines property to specify a grid line style.
