Ok this is my code.

There i am reading getting the selected item question id using the listview1_selectionIndexchanged();

     private void btnAdd_Question_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        //Add Question Dialog box is shown
        add.ShowDialog();
    }

    private void btnEdit_Question_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        //Getting the listview selected Item
        for (int i = 0; i < listView1.SelectedItems.Count; i++)
        {

            String a1 = listView1.SelectedItems[i].Text;
            int b1 = listView1.SelectedIndices[i];
            //Open the connection
             myConnection = new SqlConnection(@"User ID=sa;Password=password123;Initial Catalog=dishtv;Persist Security Info=True;Data Source=ENMEDIA-EA6278E\ENMEDIA");
            try
            {

                myConnection.Open();
                String start_time = string.Format("SELECT Question_text  from otvtbl_question where question_id={0}", a1);
                com = new SqlCommand(start_time, myConnection);
                dr = com.ExecuteReader();

                if (dr.HasRows)
                {
                    while (dr.Read())
                    {
                        now = DateTime.Now;
                     //Getting the start time and convert into date time Format
                       String a = dr["question_id"].ToString();
                       date = Convert.ToDateTime(a);



                    }
                    myConnection.Close();
                }
                //If data and time is greater then current time then allow the 
               // Edit question dialog box to launch
                if (date > now)
                {
                    edit.question_id = a1;

                    edit.ShowDialog();
                }
                else
                {
                    MessageBox.Show("you cant edit this question");
                }




            }

            //Catch the Exceptional error
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Error while Deleteing the Data" + ex);
            }

        }

    }

After that i am calling a another form and showing the information.Here i created a class edit.showdialog() to launch a dialog box.

In my edit dialog box:

Here I am passing the question_id from the main form to dialog box and displaying the question_text in the dialog box.When the cancel button is get clicked then the dialog box get closed.But the focus is not remaining on the same item in list view.Once again i click on edit button for editing without selecting the item in list view it select the previous one automatically without showing the focus on it.

public String question_id;

private void Edit_Question_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

        EditData();
    }



   public void EditData()
    { 
         myConnection = new SqlConnection(@"User ID=sa;Password=password123;Initial Catalog=dishtv;Persist Security Info=True;Data Source=ENMEDIA-EA6278E\ENMEDIA");
           myConnection.Open();
            String question = string.Format("SELECT question_text from otvtbl_question where question_id={0}", question_id);
            com = new SqlCommand(question, myConnection);
            dr = com.ExecuteReader();

            if (dr.HasRows)
            {
                while (dr.Read())
                {
                    //Assign to your textbox here   
                    txtQuestion.Text = dr["question_text"].ToString();
                }
            }
            myConnection.Close();

     private void btnCancel_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        this.Close();
    }
