C# WinForms 2026: The ListView Control You Need to Master
In this part of the C# WinForms 2026 series, you’ll learn how to use the powerful ListView control to display structured data like a pro.
We go beyond the basics and build a real mini project — a File Explorer-style app that shows files with name, size, type, and icons. You’ll also learn how to switch between different views like Details, List, and Large Icons using a clean single-button approach.
By the end of this video, you’ll know how to turn simple data into a professional UI that looks like a real desktop application.
This is a must-know control if you want to build modern tools with WinForms and .NET 10.

My goal is to make your life easier, specifically when it comes to learning software development.
With this channel I would like to share my knowledge of what I have learned in the last 10 years professionally as well as in private in the programming world with you.
I will focus mostly on C# and Unity. With some small side trips to SQL and API's.
A channel dedicated to programming, technology and game development tutorials.

▬ Some Helpful Stuff▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Here are some good books in my opinion, some of which I own myself.
Since I speak German as well as English, books for both languages are available.
However, I think that it is a great advantage to know the English language, especially in terms of programming.
