Repositioning a ListViewItem

[Norfy]

As my first project in C# (after 'Hello World') I am trying to add a
ListView to a Form so that it behaves like the 'LargeIcon' view in a
Windows Explorer. ie. a ListViewItem can be dragged and placed
anywhere in the ListView.

So far I have not been able to do this and the only info that I can
find, http://www.mvps.org/btmtz/listview/ basically says a ListView
control is only a wrapper for the real ListView widget and the full
API has not been exposed.

Is this article relevant to .NET controls since it's 4 years old and
of course for VB.

If not, does anyone know if I've simply missed something, or that my
only option is to start accessing the Comctl32.dll directly?

Thanks for any info.

Make sure to set .AutoArrange = false

While setting .AutoArrange to false would not solve this problem, it
does need to be set to false for my solution to work.

I put this problem on another forum where a solution was posted.
