I am trying to decide which of these controls to use to
implement letting my user select a full row from
MyList. The MyList has several columns which would be
nice to sort by at run time. The MyList data is resident
in a dataset table.
I'm stuck and can't choose either because.
If I choose ListView as my control I don't understand how
to programmatically get the data from the dataset table
into to build or fill the ListView.
If I choose DataGrid, I understand how to get the dataset
table into the grid, but I can not find properties for
DataGrid that are like what ListView has. Specifically I
need properties like MultiSelect = False and
FullRowSelect = True to let the user select the whole
single row from MyList.
Trades analysis:
I could live with ListView and give up the nice feature
that DataGrid has for being able to sort columns at run
time.
Though, I would love to use DataGrid but without
property features like FullRowSelect=True and
MultiSelect=False I think it will be too confusing to the
user that the purpose of the DataGrid list is to
choose "a single row".
What I would need to make ListView work for me:
Example code of how to get dataset table data into to
programmatically build a ListView
What I would need to make DataGrid work for me:
Some way to simulate pseudo FullRowSelect=True and
MultiRowSelect=False properties like such as what the
ListView control has.
As a side note: I noticed that the DataGrid control for
Web Server ( I guess that means ASP.Net application) has
the ability to add buttons on each row. That would help
make it more clear to the user that they must choose a
row.

Bob,
The most easy decission is that the listview is a readonly control (with
exception from some dump action in the first column in detail view), while
the datagrid is a read and edit control.
When you need a read only control, message than, than I can give you maybe
some more decission points.

Bob, Read only is all I need.
Assuming you needs more columns, (otherwise is the listbox of course for it)
than I would probably choose when I was in your situation for the listview,
and just fill that one using a datareader in a loop. (The dataadapter does
the same, so do not be afraid of spending processingtime). In my opinion is
the listview made for what you ask. (With the information of course I have
from you now).
You can sort a listview as well and it has probably even more possibilities,
however needs some more work.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ssorttopic.asp
Dont become afraid of the sample, most is the building of the listview,
however that you can than take as sample as well.
There also more advanced samples, as far as I remember me, do I do not like
the behaviour in this sample that it threats numbers in an alphabetic way.
However you can change that yourself.
I hope this helps?

Cor,
The sort listview example looks great. I think I can
handle that.
But I am not sure how to implement a datareader or a
datareader to fill a listview.
As far as I understand how to do things is...
I can get my data from the access database using a
DataAdapter which gets put into my MyDataset/MyDatatable.
Does the datareader get the data the last step from the
MyDatatable to the MyListView?
Or does it take the data directly from the access
database to the MyListView?
Do you have an example of how the datareader gets the
data into the ListView? You can see why I liked
DataGrids so much... you just tell it fill and off it
goes.
Thanks!

Me.ListView1.View = View.Details
Me.ListView1.Columns.Add(New ColumnHeader)
Me.ListView1.Columns(0).Text = "ID"
Me.ListView1.Columns(0).Width = 20
ListView1.Columns.Add(New ColumnHeader)
ListView1.Columns(1).Text = "First Name"
Me.ListView1.Columns(1).Width = 100
Dim conn As New SqlClient.SqlConnection _

'this are the items in your selectstring I setted them express with the
