format of report is like (below mentioned)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Category 1 | Category 2 | Category 3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Category and Sub categories are dynamic fields... I have to pull them from database.
Database Table structure is given below

-------------------------------
1 | 1
1 | 2
1 | 3
2 | 1
2 | 2

a Treeview with gridview Nodes .

Not so easy. Those gridview nodes will behave as unrelated grid views, they won't form one common grid. This is actually a real problem.

You can use a GridView that is nested inside of a DataList. Let the DataList be the container of the Category and place the Sub-category data inside the GridView.

You should use Gird within Grid (nested grid)
