)
{
    //
    // Suspend drawing for flicker free fun
    //
    lv.BeginUpdate();
    //
    // Set up auto-sizing columns
    //
    lv.View = View.Details;
    lv.Columns.Clear();
    lv.Columns.Add("Category", -1);
    lv.Columns.Add("Description", -1);
    lv.Columns.Add("Value", -2);
    //
    // Be sure to use the ClearItems() method in case the ListView
    // already had something in it, unless you wanted to add the
    // enumerated data to the end of the list.
    //
    lv.ClearItems();
    //
    // Build a Generic Data Acceptor that receives the data from
    // the data object. The acceptor is given the ListView control,
    // and the acceptor knows how to fill the control.
    //
    GenericDataAcceptor acceptor = new GenericDataAcceptor(lv);
    //
    // Call upon the data to feed the strings to the data acceptor.
    //
    data.RenderGeneric(acceptor);
    //
    // Resume drawing.
    //
    lv.EndUpdate();
