I am looking to create a multi-column list that is scrollable, kind of like 
a ListBox control, only I need a way to align the columns of text that I 
will have (I would use spaces, but because the ListBox normally uses a 
variable-width font, that would not work). Is there a control like the 
DataList (a control that uses templates and databinding) that displays the 
items in a scrollable manner? One idea that I had, although it sounds rather 
inefficient to me if it works, would be to place a DataList inside a Panel, 
and then let the user do the scrolling using the Panel's scrollbar. Anyone 
have any suggestions? Thanks.

Yes, I'd have the column headings static, then a scrollable div (rendered by 
using an asp:Panel) with the content underneath.

Sounds like a gridview to me.

Hi Nathan,
I assume you have to use panel (as you already tryed) or div with style 
overflow:scroll.
