When I've had to do this, what I did was create 2 Gridviews next to each other The first Gridview should have only the freezable columns. The second will have the rest, and will be in a scrollable div tag.

I had defined amount of of rows, so it wasn't a problem for me, but if you scroll down on one grid, the rows won't match the second grid.

Here's another solution using CSS..but I haven't tried it: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/webforms/FreezePaneDatagrid.aspx

If you use third party controls like the Telerik RadGrid, they usually have built in properties to control Freezing Columns.
