I'm developing a Desktop Search Engine in VB.NET and I'm looking for a powerful, flexible and feature-rich control for displaying the search results i.e. list of files.

If you are using WinForms, the standard is to use TreeView for folders a ListView for files/results.

If you aren't in a hurry, rolling your own using WPF might be interesting. It would be much more flexible, but also a lot more work.

The System.Windows.Forms.ListView control is probably most similar to what Windows itself uses to render lists of files and folders in Explorer.
