Difference between List View and DataGrid in WPF

Well, in WPF the difference between

ListView

and

DataGrid

is just one. Editing. You need editing use

DataGrid

, otherwise use

ListView

. You can edit in

ListView

also but it is easier and build in

DataGrid

. Otherwise, whatever can be displayed in

DataGrid

, can be displayed in

ListView

.
One thing which

DataGrid

supports and

ListView

doesn't (out of the box) is automatic column generation.

You can read this article on CodeProject for a better understanding of

DataGrid

and also about the major differences between

ListView

and

DataGrid

.

When thinking of ListView think Windows Explorer, the pane where you see all you're files, thats a ListView.

When thinking data base its usually (I said usually) a data grid, mouse over the gridview tag and read the description.

Some very obvious reasons why you would want a gridview is its directly editable. You can have your user enter the questions and the answer in there. Note, since ListViewItem is an Content Control you also could customize it easily like this article does.
