I have fathomed out how to create a DataSet that contains a record with
various fields. Okay maybe I should be using a DataView but I have not got
that far yet.

I now wish to display the various fields of this record at different places
on my page. I do not want to show them as a DataGrid, and I cannot see how
a DataList will help as I only have one record. IF anyone is unsure what I
am looking to do image a windows form with text boxes displaying the various
fields of the record, and transfer this to a web page.

I have tried setting the text property of a label, is this really the best
way to go to have control over the font, size, colour etc. of my output?

You'll have to create a webform, and place several labels and format the
output yourself.

Also, since you're just starting with .NET, don't do SELECT * FROM TABLE
with dataset - this gobbles memory if you have a lot of records.
