    Listview -> Thumbnails

    I'm looking for a control that allows me to show thumbnails like it does in the windows explorer view "Thumbnails".

    Using a listview I only get the choice of small icons, large icons, list and details, so I guess that isn't it. Is there no such object in VB.NET?

    Only thing I found while searching, was a 3rd party control, which wasn't free.

    where are the images coming from? are you planning to use an image list? or are you planning to just load the images off the hard drive at run time?

    Images would be loaded in an image list from an oracle or sql+ database.

    You can set the listview to largeicon view and then you will need to resize the images in your imagelist to 48x48 to simulate the thumbnail view like in explorer.
    VB Code:
    1. Me.ListView1.View = View.LargeIcon

    Your welcome.

    One other thing is if your loading allot of images and listviewitems then you will experience a performance hit.
