Hi Dears,

I've a detailsview that has a lot of fields and I want to format it to be displayed horizontally not vertically, so each row may display 3 fields or more

Could anyone help me.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think that's possible. A suggestion has been posted to microsoft about it though:

You probably have to create a custom control to do it.

You could create a custom databound control yourself. This article might help:

Maybe it's possible to create a custom control which inherits from the DetailsView and override the render to write your own HTML instead. I haven't worked too much with the detailsview so I can't give any examples of how to do this though.
