How to retrieve values from ListView ?

jasbirsingh chauhan

I want to retrieve value from ListView Control named here as Product_listViewFF. When the user selects a row from ListView value of the first column in first row must be read.

When I used:- Product_listViewFF.SelectedItems[0].SubItems[0].Text

It works well when i select the row first time. But when i again select some other row it throws error as "InvalidArgument=Value of '0' is not valid for 'index' "

Can somebody why error occured on selecting the row second time and not on the first time?

Hi,

Try this. (untested)

ListView.SelectedListViewItemCollection SelectedItems= this.Product_listViewFF.SelectedItems;

foreach ( ListViewItem item in SelectedItems)
{
MessageBox.Show(item.SubItems(0).Text);
}

Note that the foreach will use every row, not just the selected row(s). So the solution you say works does not match what the question seems to be.

Thanx guys ....... but for me the following worked

foreach(ListViewItem lvi in ListView1.SelectedItems)
{

}

The only thing I can think of is that not all your ListViewItems have SubItems collections.

As SubItems[0] represents the parent item in any case, I'd try just using

Product_listViewFF.SelectedItems[0].Text

It might also be a good idea to check that Product_listViewFF.SelectedItems.Count > 0, before attempting to access a selected item, just in case nothing is selected for some reason.
