The number of columns to display in the DataList control. The default value is 0, which indicates that the items in the DataList control are displayed in a single row or column, based on the value of the RepeatDirection property.

The specified number of columns is a negative value.

Use this property to specify the number of columns that display items in the DataList control. For example, if you set this property to 5, the DataList control displays its items in five columns.

If this property is set to 0, the DataList control displays its items in a single row or column, based on the value of the RepeatDirection property. If the RepeatDirection property is set to RepeatDirection.Horizontal, the items are displayed in a single row. If the RepeatDirection property is set to RepeatDirection.Vertical, the items are displayed in a single column.
