I want to show the value in datacolumn 'descriptionstatic' in datalist. I have set repeatcolumn to 3 in the dtatalist. The length of datacolumn is 200 varchar. The data is retrieved and shown in the datalist but my problem is that the data shown runs as a single line and overlaps the next column of the datalist. How to show it in multiple lines, so that it will not overlap the next column of the datalist.

XML

<tr>
   <td >
   <p align="left"  style=" font-family:Verdana; font-size:smaller; font-weight:normal;">
   About the product:
   <asp:Label ID="Label11" runat = "server"  Width="55" Height="80"
   Text=' <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "DescriptionStatic")%>'>
   </asp:Label>
   </b>
   </p>
   </td>
   </tr>
