Listview vs datagrid

Question

What are the main advantages of using a datagrid control over using a listview? When should each one be used?

Answer 1

Some points to consider that Colin Eber have stated in DataGrid vs GridView discussion:

• ListView (GridView) is a readonly control out-of-the-box.The standard solution would be to synchronise the list with a 'details view' comprised of textBoxes
• The DataGrid allows in-place editing of data
• The DataGrid performs transaction edits (the row is treated as an atom)
• The DataGrid support auto-column generation
• The DataGrid has a RowDetails element (if you like that sort of thing!)
• The DatGrid supports pretty much everything the ListView does, multiple selection modes, styling, etc ...

And another important one:

• The DataGrid has build-in sorting support by clicking on column header. While add sorting to ListView/GridView is absolutely possible, I'd rather prefer to have such kind of things out-of-the-box in DataGrid.
