listView1.Columns.Add(\"Value\");

Answer 1

Suppose you have a List Collection containing many items to show in a ListView, take the following example that iterates through the List Collection:

foreach (Inspection inspection in anInspector.getInspections())
  {
    ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem();
    item.Text=anInspector.getInspectorName().ToString();
    item.SubItems.Add(inspection.getInspectionDate().ToShortDateString());
    item.SubItems.Add(inspection.getHouse().getAddress().ToString());
    item.SubItems.Add(inspection.getHouse().getValue().ToString("C"));
    listView1.Items.Add(item);
  }

That code produces the following output in the ListView (of course depending how many items you have in the List Collection):

Basically the first column is a listviewitem containing many subitems (other columns). It may seem strange but listview is very flexible, you could even build a windows-like file explorer with it!
