use the ListView control a lot. Not to display large or small icon views, which are attractive but information-sparse. Instead, I tend to use it to display a detail view similar to the one shown on the right half of Windows Explorer when you choose "Details" from the View menu or the dropdown button on the toolbar.
In detail view, the ListView acts like an easy-to-use read-only grid. In code, it's easy to add, remove, and rearrange the control's items and sub-items. And at run time, the control can let the user select rows, rearrange columns, and even sort the rows it displays.
