I have an Asp.net DataList control in my page. It is currently having repeatcolumns set to 4 which will give me 4 columns in each row. But I want to make this responsive and set the value to 1 for smaller screen sizes. Below is my asp.net control: 

<asp:DataList runat="server" RepeatDirection="Horizontal" RepeatColumns="4" ID="dd" class="vex-res">

How can I achieve this?

You cannot make DataList to be responsive, because it renders as Table.

Instead, you need to use ListView with bootstrap (or some other responsive framework).

<asp:ListView ID="ListView1" runat="server" ...>
    ...
    <ItemTemplate>
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-md-4"><%# Eval("Name") %></div>
            <div class="col-md-4"><%# Eval("Email") %></div>
            <div class="col-md-4"><%# Eval("Address") %></div>
        </div>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
