How can a place the contents of a listview into an array inc. the subitems.

ListViewItems to a string

Hi Jan,

An array is not the best thing to put in listviewItems

A array is two dimensial
a table of rows with one item

A listview 3 dimensial
a table of rows which has columns which has items

I would use a datatable for that, others make there own collection I think.

a datatable goes like this (rough typed watch typos)

\\\
dim dt as new datatable
dim dc1 as new datacolumn
dim dc2 as new datacolumn
dt.columns.add(dc1)
dt.columns.add(dc2).
dim lvi as listviewitem
for each lvi in mylistview.items
dim dr as datarow = dt.newrow
dr.item(0) = lvi.subitem(1).text
dr.item(1) = lvi.subitem(2).text
dt.rows.add(dr)
next
///

I hope this helps a little bit?

I don't think that there is an easier way than looping through the items
and their subitems and adding them to an array or arraylist.
