Hi Alain,

The two have completely different uses. The DataGridView is designed to
show data (very often the result of a database query) in a grid, much
like how Access displays data in Table View. The ListView control, on
the other hand, is used to display a list of items with icons.

Check out the MSDN site. There is a ton of great information there that
would answer most of your basic questions. Many of the articles supply
sample code, as well.

Hope that helps,
