Using a ListView to display database records

[Steve]

I'm using a ListView control in conjunction with a TreeView control to
display SqlServer database records. Clicking a Node in the TreeView
refreshes the ListView with the content of the associated record.
The ListView contains two columns; the first column contains a
user-friendly field name and the second column contains the data
content, with the first column being tied to an Item and the second
column declared as a SubItem.
This is all very well until I try and display Text data(i.e. retrievable
from SqlServer as up to 8,000 characters) as the SubItem. Whilst a word
wrap style can be declared for the Item, no such facility appears to
exist for SubItems, and as a consequnce these long fields are truncating
with "...", which undermines the whole point of using this approach.
Do you have any suggestions on how I can work around this to produce the
multi-line display I require, or should I be looking to using a datagrid
as an alternative solution?
