In the following code for datalist I am unable to restrict the width of the label1
used for "item_desc" from a table. I made the width and height to 33 but no effect.
The retrived data is displayed in a single line. Can anyone guide me?

XML

<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
    <style type="text/css">
        #form1 {
            height: 466px;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
    <h1>
    Datalist testing
    </h1>

    </div>
    <div id="content">
    <div class="item content">
    <br />
    <asp:DataList ID="Datalist1" runat="server" DataKeyField="item_code" RepeatDirection="Horizontal"
    RepeatLayout="Table"
    datasourceid="sqldatasource1">
    <HeaderTemplate>
    </HeaderTemplate>
    <ItemTemplate>
    Item code:

    Item Name:

    </asp:Label>
    <br />

</table>
<br />

Hi,
add below event to your datalist

C#

private void Datalist1_ItemCreated(Object s, DataListItemEventArgs e)
{
	if(e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
	{
		e.Item.Width = Unit.Parse("50%");
	}
}

here you can set width property for your required item
