Question

I have a datasource that I want to bind to a listview that has multiple columns. How do I bind my datasource to that listview

Here is some pseudo code that doesn’t work to help illustrate what I am trying to do:

MyDataTable dt = GetDataSource(); ListView1.DataBindings.Add('Column1.Text', dt, 'MyDBCol1'); ListView1.DataBindings.Add('Column2.Text', dt, 'MyDBCol2');

Sorry, I forgot to mention it was winforms.

Answer 1

It seems there is a lacuna in functionality of WinForms ListView control (thought it’s possible to databind new WPF ListBox).

This article by Nick Karnik describes how to add databinding capability to custom control inherited from WinForms ListView – Data binding a ListView.
