ListViewItem Checked vs. Selected

Question

For which actions should I use Checkbox vs. SelectedItem of a ListViewItem? I can't help but think that it just comes down to personal preference, but then again, I still don't know.

Answer 1

A checked item won't loose its "check" if you select other items. Selected items can be grouped using control/shift, but when you click on another item without shift/control, all other items will be deselected.

I think its safe to assume that the checked items are a more persistent experience. It can only be undone by physically "un" checking it.
