Answer 1

I think you have to use DataList instead of gridview

check these examples

http://www.asp.net/web-forms/tutorials/data-access/displaying-data-with-the-datalist-and-repeater/displaying-data-with-the-datalist-and-repeater-controls-vb

http://www.packtpub.com/article/working-with-asp-dot-net-datalist-control

Edit:

.aspx

  <ItemTemplate>
    <ul>
       <li> <%# Container.DataItem %></li>
    </ul>
  </ItemTemplate>

</asp:DataList>

.cs

 List<string> ss = new List<string>();
    ss.Add("john");
    ss.Add("Adam");
    ss.Add("Morkel");
    ss.Add("Kalis");
    ss.Add("Chris");
    DataList1.DataSource=ss;
    DataList1.DataBind();

Answer 2

You're better off using a DataList control.

for your multi row/multi column need, take a look at "Step 3: Displaying Data in a Multi-Column, Multi-Row Table" at http://www.asp.net/web-forms/tutorials/data-access/displaying-data-with-the-datalist-and-repeater/showing-multiple-records-per-row-with-the-datalist-control-vb
