I have successfully made available my data elements with help from this forum and have displayed my results in a datagrid. I am trying to display my querry results in a graphically pleasing fashion. I have created a bitmap image as a canvas and displayed the text using graphics objects it looked great but came with the huge overhead of a .jpg image and load time suffered dramatically. There must be a better way of displaying my querry results programatically without using a datagrid. I have tried creating new labels through code and looping through the elements but was unable to make a go of it.
I tried using a list box as well but found that it does not have scrolling capabilities.


If anyone knows of a good method to display data programatically drop me a line thanx for any and all comments.[?]

You can use a repeater control.

Stephen Walther has an excellent book encompassing the DataGrid, DataList and Repeater controls, excellent pace as well. You can do some amazing looking stuff with all 3 controls

It's on Sam's, Kickstart ASP.NET
