I have a listbox control that displays it's data using the DataSource,
DisplayMember and ValueMember properties. I've worked a thrid party control
(DevExpress)
that a similar ListBox control that allows me to add columns. I typed in the
following

dim colHeader as ListBox.Col (And no column appears).

With DevExpress I am able to add columns definng my own columens, and back a
while ago, I know I was able to use the Microsoft List Box Control or maybe
the List View Control to display more than just one column.

Using a DataTable/DataSet how can I quickly populete a ListBox/ListView to
show a total of three columsn that are visible? And, how to I assign a
specific data element from my DataSet/DataTable to each column?

Thanks,

Greg

The Windows Forms listbox control does not support multiple data columns.

The Windows Forms listview control doesn't have a 'DataSource' property.

You may want to populate a Windows Forms datagridview control which looks
similar to the listview control in details mode.
 
Greg,

There is a misunderstanding that the newer VS versions have no listbox with
multiple columns.

It has, there are plenty of controls so called Grid.

It are simple multicolumn ListBoxes with beside a columnheader a row header.
If you make those latter invisible, then you have a simple one or
multicolumn ListBox.

This is not for the multicolumn Combobox, as there is no grid with a TextBox
header.
