I'm looking for a free multi columns dropdownlist for my school project. Has been google for a while but found nothing.
Do you guys have any recommendations?

I'm not 100% sure I understand what you mean by "multi-column dropdown". A dropdown doesn't have columns, just items, which are simple strings, so I'm taking my best guess.
If you mean TWO dropdowns, each tied to a different DATABASE column, where when you select one, the contents of the next change, based on the first one (and based on a parent-child relationship in the database), then there's an extender for this in the Ajax Control toolkit that you can use...

I think he's talking about an Access/VBA forms style of dropdown that does allow multiple columns to be displayed upon click.

OK. If that's the case, then my answer is of no help. @WeeShian, can you confirm this? If so I'll delete my post, as I'm answering the wrong question. You might want to clarify the question, as well, either way.
