I am having a problem with columns in listview. The data I have will only
populate one column and I want it to fit on a 3 column page. (once the first
column is full I want it to move on to the next column then to the 3rd and
then to the next page after that).
Can someone point me to the right direction?
Thank you

That doesn't sound like something you'll easily be able to use the
ListView class for. The non-"Details" views for ListView all do
something _like_ that, but AFAIK you don't get to control the primary
direction nor the number of columns (at least, not directly).

Instead, you might try the FlowLayoutPanel. It's not as fancy as
ListView in terms of its flexibility, but it _does_ provide exactly the
kind of "fill in the grid" behavior you seem to be asking about.

Hi,
What about an int counter variable for example itemcount?

int x = itemcount / maxrows;
int y = itemcount % maxrows;

x is the column inside the listview 0=item;1=subitem0;2=subitem1
y is the row of the listview

If you use an ArrayList as master you have the counter variable and you
are able to insert new items dynamically.

Use a grid instead.
