Here Description is not another column. It is the description of the column which i have added. Suppose "MyColumn" is the column in the list.while creating the column I have added description to it for ex: MyColumn is the first Column" – sharmila Jan 27 '12 at 9:43

Sharmila,

You cannot get the Description of the column, in DataViewWebpart, since the description which you provided becomes part of Field Description Attritbute, and the value of the Field becomes part of SPList Item.
