I have some user information in a database, now I want to be able when someone searches for a user that sells a particular item, to display all users that sell such item. I want to display information for each user in a separate box/container, and also have pages so that I display let's say 10 users per page. What control can I use to achieve this? I've seen it done on many sites, just don't know how to do it. DetailsView will not work since in displays information for a single user at a time. GridView also displays all records one below another, and each category is labeled in a column, and I would like to have titles for different categories displayed in a row, similar to DetailsView. Can someone explain how this can be done and show me some example. Thank you in advance. 

youre going to have to create whatever controls you want at runtime and encapsulate such controls in a panel to keep them seperated, or you can just build a table at runtime if you have some HOT html skills hahaha...

 this is just an example that we used its alot more complex wthen probably what ur doing but heres a start maybe

string HtmlLine = "<hr />";

string tempHtml = row["strOfferHeader"].ToString() + row["strOfferDetail"].ToString() + HtmlLine;          ==here is where i get info about my "users"

t.GroupName = "Group";

t.Text = row["strOfferHeader"].ToString();           --this is just an example of how you have to give the controls unique id's with the info youre getting from you db

But how can I add page numbers since I want 10 records per page? Also, the column names should be placed in a separate row for each record. I am using C#. This is what I am looking for:

___________________________________
Name: xxxxxx                                      

Location: xxxxx                                     

Phone: xxxxxx

Email: xxxxxx

hahahahahahahaha dude ur nuts! youre going to have to build your own custom control

Custom control? Many sites do it this way.  They all use custom controls for this? Do you have an example for me to take a look at?

ummmmm i dont have an example because its a large drawn out process its not just a throw together kind of thing. in your visual studio go to add new item and pick web user control

it will look like a web  page and you design it like a web page if you want but think of it like this... when youer finished with your user control youre going to drag it on to your page like a control that comes with visual studio, its pretty complex in my opinion.

wait it just came to me..... MAYBE JUST MAYBE i think you can add a gridview, then make your field templatefields and then THERE you can add any control you want to the gridview column, so in esence you can use a gridview to handle paging and such and have them in a nice little grid, but it wont look like a grid necessarily if you put a panel and label and all that stuff in the first column so it will be a once column table but it will look like a bunch of controls, does that make sense?

 this may help
