How many times you wished to be able to use data binding with the ListView control. Well.. there are a few implementations of the bindable ListView available on the web, including the one on the MSDN. But in my opinion the best implementation was done by Ian Griffins a few years ago. In fact I've re-used this code for the ListBoxEx that's a part of SDF. So, here's the ported to .NetCF version of the BindableListView control. It doesn't have the desing-time version, but you should be able to use it in the following way:

private BindableListView bindList;

public Form1()

{

      //

      // Required for Windows Form Designer support

      //

      InitializeComponent();

      bindList = new BindableListView();

      bindList.View = View.Details;

      bindList.Size = new Size(240, 100);

      bindList.Location = new Point(0, 0);

      this.Controls.Add(bindList);

      bindList.DataSource = CreateData();

}

private ArrayList CreateData()

{

      ArrayList list = new ArrayList();

      Person person = new Person();

      person.Id = 4123;

      person.Name = "Alex Yakhnin";

      list.Add(person);

      person = new Person();

      person.Id = 5327;

      person.Name = "Chris Tacke";

      list.Add(person);

      //…

      return list;

}

Where the Person class is:

public class Person

{

      private int id;

      private string name;

      public Person()

      {

      }

      public int Id

      {

            get

            {

                  return id; 

            }

            set

            {

                  id = value;

            }

      }

      public string Name

      {

            get

            {

                  return name;     

            }

            set

            {

                  name = value;

            }

      }

}
