Showing Images in gridview as block items - asp.net

My suggestion would be to switch to a ListView instead of a GridView. ListView is new in .Net 3.5, and has worked wonders for me for exactly the scenario you are talking about. Scott Guthrie has a good example of it on his blog.
Here's an example for a 3x4 grid of pictures from my personal website...
<ul id="thumbnails">
<asp:ListView runat="server" ID="PicturesListView" ItemPlaceholderID="PicturesListItemPlaceholder"
DataSourceID="PicturesDataSource">
<LayoutTemplate>
<li runat="server" id="PicturesListItemPlaceholder"></li>
</LayoutTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<li>
<a href='Photos/<%# Eval("WebImageId") %>.jpg' class="thickbox" rel="gallery-test"
title='<%# Eval("Caption") %>'>
<img src="Photos/<%# Eval("ThumbnailId") %>.jpg" alt='<%# Eval("Caption") %>' />
</a></li>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
</ul>
and my CSS to line things up is...
/* Picture Thumbnails */
#thumbnails ul
{
width: 800px;
list-style: none;
}
#thumbnails li
{
text-align: center;
display: inline;
width: 200px;
height: 130px;
float: left;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
