Hi
I want the concatenation to be separated by a new line but not as Ram-Lakshman as name
it should be Ram newline Lakshman

Hi

1.Try to use <br/> in your select query like(Select FirstName+'<br/>'+LastName Name from xyz)
or
2.Create a Template column by using two labels separated by <br/>. 
<asp:TemplateField> 

<HeaderTemplate>Name</HeaderTemplate> 

<ItemTemplate> 

<asp:Label runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("FirstName") %>'></asp:Label>

<br/>

<asp:Label runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("LastName") %>'></asp:Label>

</ItemTemplate> 

</asp:TemplateField>
* Please Note in the second case your collection should have atleast those two properties
