Datagridview vs Listview

[forgottenhart]

I was wondering if anyone has opinions on when to use each one. I had been using datagridviews but recently switched to listviews bascially because (in my opinion) they look better.

That really depends on the project, the amount of data and what you want to do with it. Personally I would not even consider using a list view to attach to my database and display inventory data. I do use them for certian items mostly for user selection and of course use them if I need to display icons or thumbnails.

In general if you are dealing with rows of data that need conventional functions (add/Edit/Update/Delete) this is pretty much what the datagrids are for where as list view is for displaying either a simple list or a list with a few sub items and best for icons or thumbnails.
