Question

I’m used to using Telerik Grids and I’m able to display them in an outlook style, i.e. a picture on the far left, a bold title and a few other lines of text under the main title.

Is there a way do this using a standard .Net2.0 Windows control? Either with a cheap control, or the existing datagridview or listview?

Basically, I need to be able to produce a layout as follows:

Job Title Engineer: Fred Bloggs Product: Some random product 

So, I’ll have 2000 or so of these items in a grid with a status image next to each of them, what’s the best way to achieve this?

Here is help with using a listview for the list. I would go with the list because you will only have one column, so no need for the grid.

You want to use :

private void lstItems_DrawItem(object sender, DrawItemEventArgs e) 

Then use the e.Graphics to get an object you can draw directly to.
