.NET 3.5 brings new ListView control to ASP.NET web developers

If you are a ASP.NET web developer and are using Visual Studio, the good news is that with Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5, there's going to be a new component (control) named ListView. This new component combines the best parts of the older GridView and DataGrid components, and can even replace the older Repeater component.

There's a Microsoft previously linked specification document available (in XPS format, more Orcas specifications here), and also a short WMV video that shows how the component works. Note that this new ListView control has nothing to do with the WinForms ListView control that has existed since .NET 1.0.
