Change the layout of a DataView (or similar control) - i.e. accrossnot down

[JB]

At present in my app I am using a Dataview to display data from an sql
server table.

It is currently layout out in the following manner:

Column1 | column2 | Column3 | Column4 | ............. |
Column20
data | data | data | data
| ............ | data

So a pretty standard view.

Since it is only every showing 1 row from a table, it is a real waste
of space, and because the row is so long it makes it impossible to fit
on a screen.


-
What I am trying to do is display it in a method more like the
following:


Column1 | data Column18 | data
Column2 | data Column19 | data
Column3 | data Column20 | data
............... .......... ............... ..........

Is it possible with any standard control? Or am I going to have to
draw a table out myself dynamically in code and then populate it from
there.

Ouch, it seems my formatting didnt come out quite right.
It is currently:
Column1 | Column2 | Column3 | Column4
data | data | data | data
