Custom Items in Lists in C# forms?

Question

I'm a bit new to the C#-form app developing and I want know, what's the best way around at making a control that holds a list of horizontal items. In which each of these items are horizontally ruled to it's parent control, contain a thumbnail to the left and a large text block to the right of image and a smaller text block underneath that. So basically this isn't a predefined control I can find in the toolbox. Any ideas?

Answer 1

You could lay this out with Panels in form controls, or with WrapPanel and StackPanel in WPF.

In WindowsForms, I would create a user control that held the correct layout for a single item, then make a list of them at run time.

In WPF I would use a List control, but set the layout template to use WrapPanels and StackPanels.

WPf is the better solution long term if you don't have to coexist with winforms
