There are many ways to accomplish the end result of what is displayed below.

To display multiple records of data on the same page, you may alternatively use Repeater (my favorite of the dataview controls), DataList or ListView (also great).

FormView and DetailsView are similar, but should be limited to smaller sets of data IMO or in a system where limited results are only displayed in this control after selection from a search or query filter.

The control on the HTML design side:
