I'm attempting to setup the ListViewPopulationSetting for a SF ListView in code. I looked at the generated code in the designer file and there is a FormatString setting (on the ListViewPopulationSetting object). There are also FormatString settings for each column (which I understand). What is this property for? It is set to {0} in the designer.

The FormatString setting on the object is not used.  The ListViewPoulationSettings class inherits from ListPopulationSettings (which is used for combo boxes and simple lists).  The ListView settings class is more specific and needs a format string for each of the columns.

Ah! Thanks. It makes sense now

No problem
