Is there no pivot table, or horizontal mode for a gridview in 2.0?

I am trying to make the datalist work for me in presenting data in a
"pivot table" manner, but it isn't exactly pretty.

I have seen some complex code examples of people trying to re arrange a
datagrid to do this.

Is there no easier way to get this?
 
pivot tables are a specialized control. you will need a third party control
for that. You can customize the gridview but the amount of effort to
simulate a pivot table but the effort may not be worth it. I'd suggest you
pursue a third party alternative - there are many to choose from.

Could you please link to some of the many third party alternatives you mention?
Does it cost to use them, or are there any free ones?

It seems Mr. Bruney isn't replying. Can anybody else help in this matter?
