You can modify the appearance of the CMSDataList control by setting the standard properties of the ASP.NET DataList control (inherited through the BasicDataList). You can find more details on particular properties in the .NET Framework documentation for the DataList class.

 

The design of list items can be determined by the transformations specified by the AlternatingTransformationName, TransformationName and SelectedItemTransformationName properties or by the code of the template properties inherited from the standard ASP.NET DataList control.
