Hi Bonnie,

I will go with DataGridView and not because it is "quick and dirty" but I believe it is better suitable for thask. The only thing that would make me consider ListView is if you said that it is 100 times lighter than grid. But it does not seem to be.

Thank you.

The ListView still does not have support for DataSources or DataBinding and so you have to add the Items manually and handle the SelectedIndexChanged event (or write your own DataSource/Binding functionality into a ListView sub-class). That's not necessarily a bad thing, but there is a lot more work involved and I believe you're looking for "quick and dirty" at this point, am I right?

So I decided to try building my own user control with a form where user will select an entry. The lookup form will use either listview or datagridview control. I think that datagridview control is lighter and easier to work with. But I was wondering on what people with experience of doing WinForm application think is a better choice?
