Question

I have a list view that shows contacts– name and number are the columns. I have another listview that shows messages– phone number (from where the message is received), message being the columns. Now when I populate my message listview, I want to compare the phone number column with the contact list number column and then replace the message listview’s number column with the contact name if there is a match.

Is this possible? Please provide solutions.

See if this can help you:

           if (messagelist.Items.Count > 0)
            {
                for (int i = 0; i < messagelist.Items.Count; i++)
                {
                    string mnum = messagelist.Items[i].Text;

                    for (int j = 0; j < contactlist.Items.Count; j++)
                    {
                        if (contactlist.Items[j].SubItems[1].Text == mnum)
                        {
                            messagelist.Items[i].Text = contactlist.Items[j].Text;
                        }

                    }
                }
            }

I assumed that the contactlist has number in its 2nd column.
