How do multi columns like newspaper?

[VB Programmer]

I have an ASPX page that I'm creating. It'll have alot of text. I want the
text to be 2 columns, like a newspaper. If the user resizes the browser the
columns should adjust accordingly.

What is the best way to handle this?

In addition, I may want to constrain the vertical height of the columns. Is
there a way to do this too?

Thanks in advance!

You will most likely have to use the datalist asp.net web server control.
You can set the number of colums to display the data that is bound to it

Or use the <asp:Table> control to create an HTML table...

If you put an <asp:Panel> control or a <div> in the columns you can set the
size and force scroll bars to appear:
<div style="width:300;height:70;overflow:scroll;border: 1 solid
black;padding:2">

Here's an example using a Datagrid control:

Use the HTML table control.
Set the Height and width for each column and row.
Then use either;
1] Label control
2] Textbox control. In this case turn on luti-line and you can turn off
borders.

Should do exactly what you need.
Can also use picture or picture btn controls to add photos to your newspaper

I'm wondering if the original question was more along the lines of "how
do I flow the text of a single article across columns like in a
newspaper?". That's a much more difficult than putting individual
articles in separate table columns. I can't think of a way to do it
(maybe with some javascript that rewrites the text when you resize the
window).
