listview alternative

[digicd1]

Are there any alternatives to using a listview in new versions of .Net? I like listviews but the versions of .Net I use (2005 & 2008) require coding to be put in to sort the listview. It would be nice to be able to use a control that has sorting already built in. Thank you, Chad

A DataGridView has default sorting; so does a ListBox. And obviously you can disable or override it. :)

Please use <PRE> tags for code snippets, they preserve indentation, improve readability, and make me actually look at the code.

I agree. DataGridView can do so much more. Many of the examples on line are VB or C#, but it doesnt take much to turn the C# to C++/CLI if needs be.

A DataGridView is always heavier (in terms of resources) when compared to a list view (due to the number of features it offers). So use a ListView unless you absolutely have to use a grid view.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick

Check out ObjectListView. It takes some time to get used to, but overall it's much more powerful than a standard ListView. http://objectlistview.sourceforge.net/cs/index.html[^]
