Don't use a listbox for data layout in columns.

If you need to databind then
If you need to sort on arbitrary columns then
use a datagrid
else
use a datalist
end if
else
use a table
end if

Of course you can also place a table in the <ItemTemplate> of a DataList and
bind the DataList - in which case you get multiple instances of the table
for which any contained controls can be bound blah blah blah...

This will offer a bit more perspective

Hi,

Is there a chance to show various columns in a ListBox control, =
something like a ListView in VB6? Or should I use a table web control =
instead?

Thanks
