Good afternoon.

How can i do it?

What kind of list control do you use? My first-hand choice for a multicolumn list is typically the ListView, that you can populate like so:

foreach (var item in someDataList)
{
    // create the list view item (which makes the first column)
    ListViewItem lvi = myListView.Items.Add(item.Text);
    // add additional columns
    lvi.SubItems.Add(item.SomeOtherValue);
}

Then you set the View property to Details and edit the Columns collection and needed. and you should be good to go.
