A List is very easy to use compared to a Table. But sometime it gets very
irritating to the user. Even though you do get an LstSelectEvent, it isn't
really
useful since the scrollbar is almost on top of the list and the user will
almost
always hit the item instead of the scrollbar ( at least me :)). And though
it
may sound strange, the list control doesn't automatically handle the up/down
buttons - you have to add code. So even if it takes extra time and you don't
need any of the table features, table is still worth it.
