I am making an application in vb.net that involves listing a large number of files in a listview. However, after 30-40 000 items this gets rather slow and resource demanding. I need a better way to present a large number of items to users. I have though of using pages much like google search results showing 1000 items per page... I have also though of switching between sets of items every time the user hits min and max scrolling position.
What would be the best slution to handeling and presenting large numbers of items in listview? thanks.
