+Always choose a GridView (over a ListBox) because it can have:  
+
+<!--endintro-->
+
+1. Multiple columns
+2. Checkboxes in the header of the control, which enables users to easily check or uncheck all items
+3. Add sub-controls added such as buttons, links, charts, and even customized controls to the Gridview. This means you get unlimited flexibility with the GridView
