Answer 1

As the otehr memers have indicated, it helps to be specific about what the UI is; whether it is ASP.Net, WPF, Windows Forms or whatever. The best way to do that is to put the question in the forum for tha UI; this forum is for questions about the C# language, not all questions about everything and anything developed using C#. This is a UI question, not a language question.

Assuming you are asking about a Windows Forms application, the ListView control is quite old. It was initially developed for the Windows Explorer accessory in Windows 95. It is less flexible than the newer controls.

Answer 2

I suspect kehinde may be talking about the ListView in Windows Forms but, to the best of my knowledge, you can't add controls as (or to) sub-items of that either.

Answer 3

Hi,

Are you talking about ListView in asp.net or ListBox in asp.net?

Because you can't add the items like this in ListView control.

If you want to implement like this then you can go for

TreeView
or
Nested DataControls 

I have written two articles for nested data controls and treeview.
