c# - Displaying multiple properties from a List<T> in a horizontal fashion in a Listbox -

i'm reasonably new c# (apprentice, 5 months in, 3 weeks training) , 1 of assignments create event driven computer program using c# in form of shopping basket.

i'm nearing end of assignment , i'm designing shoppingbasketform. have class orderitem, contains properties productname , quantity etc. have class shoppingbasket, contains property of list<orderitem>orderitems.

how go making lstboxbasket on form display list<orderitem>orderitems properties horizontally in shopping basket fashion?

thanks in advance.

eg of ideal display, ignore code block, easiest way show it:

oranges    5     £1.20 apples     3     £0.80 

oranges being productname, 5 being quantity , £1.20 being latestprice.

as others have mentioned, if using datagridview or listview allowed, simple task.

but since must use listbox, set drawmode property ownerdrawnfixed, , handle listbox.drawitem event, this:

mylistbox.drawitem += new drawitemeventhandler(this.drawitemhandler); mylistbox.drawmode = drawmode.ownerdrawnfixed;  private void drawitemhandler(object sender, drawitemeventargs e) {     e.drawbackground();     e.drawfocusrectangle();      orderitem item = mylistbox.items[e.index] orderitem;     if (item == null) return;      rectangle namerect = new rectangle(e.bounds.location, new size(e.bounds.width / 3, e.bounds.height));     e.graphics.drawstring(item.productname, font, brushes.black, namerect);      rectangle quantityrect = new rectangle(...);     e.graphics.drawstring(item.quantity.tostring(), font, brushes.black, quantityrect); } 

it takes tweaking , have decide whether scale or clip horizontal overflow, have complete freedom on how items rendered.
