Question

I want vertical columns in my gridview I google it but ain't get anything in return,

rows in my gridview consist of only one record that is why i want to show my gridview columns vertically

anyone knows the easy way (if possible) for how to show vertical columns in a gridview ?

Answer 1

Assume this is the structure of your table:

CREATE TABLE EmpInfo(
    Id INT NOT NULL,
    Name VARCHAR(200) NOT NULL,
    Salary Decimal(18,8) NOT NULL
)

You need to unpivot the row to show information to convert Row to Columns :

SELECT * FROM
(
    SELECT  CAST(Id as VARCHAR(200)) [Id], Name, CAST(Salary as VARCHAR(200)) [Salary]
    FROM    EmpInfo
) e
UNPIVOT
(
    Val FOR Col IN ([Id], [Name], [Salary])
) x

You need cast, as we need same data type for all values we are pivoting on.

Hope you can take it from here.
