You should also consider using the Tag property of WinForms controls. When populating the listview, each listitem has a Tag property. This allows you to associate the relevant object for that row.<br />
<br />
So if you're populating a listview with a collection of people, you could use:<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-8253012">ListViewItem lvi = null;

foreach (Person p in persons)
{
    lvi = new ListViewItem();

    lvi.Tag = p;
    lvi.Text = p.FirstName;

    this.ListView.Items.Add(lvi);
}</code></pre>
<br />
So the next time you need to update a particular row, you can use the Person object to find it instead of remembering indexes. This makes it far more natural to access items programatically.

I was wondering what is the best approach to updating single items in a listview. &nbsp;I could clear all the items in the listview and then read them with the updated information, but that doesnt sound like the best approach when all I need to do is update a single cell for a<br />
single item especially if the listview has 50+ items in it.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

ListView - Update A Single Item

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
