There is a lot of information in the Internet connected with this problem. Last week me and my friend Martin ran into it. Somebody will say “Come on guys it is quite simple!”. May be looking through most of the samples in Internet like this from MSDN it seems to be simple. But what about sorting of data populated or searching for some concrete object etc? Well, after some research We found few really nice articles from Microsoft:

But it is clear that some additional development and tests should be performed which in our case was critical. I think everybody knows the time pressure. After some more research a nice framework appear in google search :). We found it easy of use and understand. We made some test for our simple purposes and it seems to work good enough. The author also provides a nice movie which completely shows the framework options.

Thanks to Andrew Davey for its BindingListView!!!
