Answer 1

You can use a list item instead of the table item. Bind the list item to the data set (just as you would do with a table item). Then, inside the list item's detail area, create a grid item, say 2 cols x 3 rows. You can that add your labels (static texts) like "Name:" to the cells in the left column and the data items to the right column of the grid.
