Question

I’m still fairly new at using ListViews so this may seem like an elementary question, but how exactly would I go about listing one item per row?

For example, my code which displays all the files from a folder looks like this:

string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(Properties.Settings.Default.workspace + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar + "system" + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar + "app");
foreach (string file in files)
{
    string fileName = Path.GetFileName(file);
    ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem(fileName);

    item.Tag = file;

    listView1.Items.Add(item);
}

In turn the output looks like this:

SomeFile1 SomeFile2 SomeFile3 SomeFile4

SomeFile5 SOmeFile6 SOmeFile 7 SomeFile 8

My goal is to try to get it to look like this:

someFile 1

SomeFile 2

SomeFile 3

...

I know it has something to do with how I added the items, but I’m still not too sure.

Answer 1

Set listView1.View= View.List , it should work.

By default it’s set to LargeIcon.

You can set this property in constructor or by properties menu.
