The WinForms ListView control allows users to select an item or multiple items from a list-like interface. Data can be sorted, grouped, and filtered with ease. Selecting can be easily done with a check box and grouped items can be selected through an intuitive check box in the group header. Any UI control can be loaded as the header at the top of the drop-down to perform customized actions like search and filter.
Data binding support is provided for DataTable, DataView and all data collections implementing IEnumerable type data sources such as IList, IBindingList, and more.
The WinForms listview has been built from the ground up with an optimized reuse strategy to achieve the best performance, even when loading large data sets.
Group by a property from the code or with custom grouping logic. The group caption can also be customized by adding images, text, and more.
Sort and group data in real time.
Dynamically change the size of items to enhance readability.
Select multiple items and easily identify the selected items for end users.
Supports bound values for displaying check boxes.
