You need to use nested datagrids for this purpose. The main datagrid will contains posts from one datatable. And obviously, the comments for that particular post will have some relation wtih the post in datatable 2. You can fetch that relation id and populate comments out of that. For more information on nested datagrids you may refer to :

You need to use your datalist in Parent Child fashion. Post should be parent and comments should be child.
You can have a look for sample
