Question

Here is what i am using, but i get an error:

private void listView1_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    foreach (ListViewItem itm in listView1.SelectedItems)
    {
        pictureBox1.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(itm.SubItems[1].Text);
    }
}

i get: InvalidArgument=Value of '1' is not valid for 'index'.
Parameter name: index

How do i fix this problem?

this is how i fill the listview with the images in the image list (which are added in the properties items collection)

for (int j = 0; j < this.imageList1.Images.Count; j++)
        {
            ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem();
            item.ImageIndex = j;
            this.listView1.Items.Add(item);
        }

Answer 1

You listViewItems have only 1 subitem which appear to be the empty string (which is not a valid path).

An ImageList doesn’t keep the path informations of the images. Instead, it created a copy which is embedded in the executable.

Try this code instead:

private void listView1_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    foreach (ListViewItem itm in listView1.SelectedItems)
    {
        int imgIndex = itm.ImageIndex;
        if ( imgIndex >= 0 && imgIndex < this.imageList1.images.Count)
        {
            pictureBox1.Image = this.imageList1.images[imgIndex];
        }
    }
}
