Listview-like functionality from a DataGridView?

I've become painfully aware that I'm not likely going to get what I want out of the ListView component, but I'm not sure the DataGridView can provide what I'm looking for...  maybe somebody here can point me in the right direction...

I'd like a control that behaves like a ListView in LargeIcon view, i.e., a large image with a tag, draggable from the ListView to another control, but databound to a table with a field of Image type in SQL Server that uses the image field as the image for the item, and ideally I could utilize the Group behavior of the ListView...

Am I deluding myself into thinking this is possible, or am I doomed to hours of exntending the ListView control to try to get something like this?

You will probably need to extend the ListView, but I wouldnt think it would be that difficult. Get your data, iterate through it, and add your ListViewItems manually.
