That is a contradiction; please explain which language you are using. And if you do not wish to use a GridView control then you will have to format all the information manually, no mean task.

Once you have your datatable (in c# or vb.net) you can replicate this to your user by iterating through the columns and rows and creating a HTML table or a series of nested Divs.

But the big question, as DamithSL has already mentioned, is why?

I'm guessing there is a reason you do not wish to use a gridview. But as displaying data in a tabular format is why the gridview was invented, it's difficult to give you an alternative without re-inventing the wheel.

Why would they want HTML in a desktop app?

@Richard MacCutchan You are quite correct. I completely missed the Desktop bit and when straight to the GridView.

For a desktop app you can use nested panels instead of a DataGridView. But again, why?
