Horizontal ListView Control in VS 2008?

[elkinm]

I need to display a table with 2 rows and indefinitely many columns.
It seems that the way to do it is with a listview control, however all the listview controls I have found are vertical with a label at the top with columns and rows going down.

I need a list view with the label/header on the left with columns going to the right.

The closest thing is that I need an Excel like view with the row headers and not the column headers. (I would like to have both row and column headers but with the option to remove them at runtime).

Is there a horizontal listview or some way to make a listview horizontally arranged?

Thanks

Sounds like you need a gridview.

Thanks, I think that sounds right, however I don't have a gridview in my toolbox and don't know how to add it. I am very new to VS and GUI programming in general.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will try finding a gridview and see where it goes.

Thanks again.

winforms or ASP.net?

I am using visual studio express 2008 C#, so I think winforms.

I found the Choose items option from the toolbox and was able to find gridview, but when I checked it nothing happened. I expected is to be added to the toolbox as a control?

Right click on your toolbox area and choose "show all controls."

Then look for the for the "data" drop down and gridview should be there. It is a default UI configuration for visual studios.

As to getting columns on the left and rows on the right, follow this useful tip here http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/wpf/thread/5692e169-cf35-45b6-872f-a525fee4ebba/
