If this property is set to RepeatDirection.Vertical and if the RepeatLayout property is set to Table, the first column is filled from top to bottom, then the next column, and so on until all items are rendered. For example, if the RepeatColumns property is set to 3, the items in the CheckBoxList control are displayed in three columns, as in the following table.
1 | 4 | 7 |
2 | 5 | 8 |
3 | 6 | 9 |
If this property is set to RepeatDirection.Horizontal and if the RepeatLayout property is set to Table, the first column is filled from top to bottom, then the next column, and so on until all items are rendered. For example, if the RepeatColumns property is set to 3, the items of the CheckBoxList control are displayed in rows of three items each, as in the following table.
1 | 2 | 3 |
4 | 5 | 6 |
7 | 8 | 9 |
