Finding the correct control to use?

[Bujitsu]

Hi,

I am trying to create a simple windows forms ping program. And am wondering if the ListView control is the correct one to use.
There would be just two columns.
One for the host status and the other for the Host.
So if the host is off the status column for that host would be red.

Is the listview control the correct one? Or should I be using a better control?

Regards

Bujitsu,

Yes, ListView is likely the control you want to use.

If you don't need to do anything with the ping data, I suggest simply outputing the ping result to a multiline textbox. Less work and it allows your user to select and copy the information if desired whereas you will need to implement code to allow this with a ListView.
