Need to add a vertical scroll bar to a datalist

Can this be done? I could not find a property to use.

A reference would be helpful.

Thanks,

You can through CSS
<asp:DataList ID="yourDataList" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<div style="width:400px;height:500px; overflow:scroll;">
// Your Content
</div>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>

you can do it indirectly. Put the datalist control inside a div tag with overflow capability. Something like:

<div style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow: scroll; width: 100%; height:500px">

This places a scroll bar within each row and column. I need a single scroll bar for the entire list similar to the listview.

Is this possible?

I have a tutoring appointment at a local high school. I will try it this afternoon.

I found out that my first student was held back 2 grades after "experts" determined that she could not read. Within 15 minutes, I realized that she was highly intelligent but had vision issues.

The Lion's Club is now involved.

Yes, Defining the datalist inside the css statement works.

<div style="overflow: scroll; width: 2in; height:500px">
<asp:DataList ID="dlstEvalWatch" runat="server" DataKeyField="SymbolID"
