Stackoverflowers,

I have a resultset from a SQL query in the form of:

Category  Column2   Column3
A         2        3.50  
A         3        2  
B         3        2  
B         1        5  
...

I need to group the resultset based on the Category column and sum the values for Column2 and Column3. I have to do it in code because I cannot perform the grouping in the SQL query that gets the data due to the complexity of the query (long story). This grouped data will then be displayed in a table.

I have it working for specific set of values in the Category column, but I would like a solution that would handle any possible values that appear in the Category column.

I know there has to be a straightforward, efficient way to do it but I cannot wrap my head around it right now. How would you accomplish it?
