Question

I’ve a list

    List<String> SampleList=new List<String>();

I need to fill a listView with the contents of the list

For example the “SampleList” contains

 a
 b
 c
 d

The listView should be filled like

 S.No         Item

  1             a
  2             b
  3             c
  4             d

Now i’m using for loop for this method

like

for(int i=0;i<SampleList.Count;i++)
   {
     listView1.Items.Add((i+1).ToString());
     listView1.Items[i].SubItems.Add(SampleList[i]);
   }

is there any other way to do this like data binding ?

Thanks in advance

Not quite like databinding, but you could use VirtualMode and RetrieveVirtualItem

listView1.VirtualMode = true;
listView1.RetreiveVirtualItem += new RetrieveVirtualItemEventHandler( this.RetrieveVirtualItem );
listView1.VirtualListSize = SampleList.Count;

private void RetreiveVirtualItem( object sender, RetrieveVirtualItemEventArgs e )
{
     ListViewItem lvItem = new ListViewItem((e.ItemIndex + 1).ToString());
     lvItem.SubItems.Add(SampleList[e.ItemIndex]);
     e.Item = lvItem;
}
