If this property is set to RepeatDirection.Horizontal, the items in the list are displayed in rows loaded from left to right, then top to bottom, until all items are rendered. For example, if the RepeatColumns property is set to 3, the items of the DataList control are displayed in rows of three items each, as in the following table.
