ListBox, Multi Column effect

Is there any way to create a multi-column effect?

The method below is fine. Is there any other way?

A WebForms ListBox gets rendered as a HTML <select>. There is no multicolumn support for the HTML <select>.

You need to stop literally translating them at WinForms program you are trying to port, and step back a little to see what the objective of the UI is, and then find the appropriate HTML control that gives the same idea or accomplishes a similar objective.

If you really want to use the ASP.NET ListBox then just like in Windows, you would use a fixed size font and then put spaces to simulate columns.

I'm having a hard time with the ListView in ASP.NET.
The ListView problem is still not resolved. So I thought of ListBox as an alternative.
ListBox is not multi-column, so it is unlikely.

Migrating ListView in Winform to ListView in Webform is too hard.

It's not an ASP.net problem.
I suggest you have a look at incorporating one of the many front end styling frameworks with ASP.net, for example:

• Bootstrap
• ...and its many alternatives

...and then look at how they style multicolumn list layouts.
