Add files to listview

[Wim]

I'm trying to add files with a OpenFileDialog to a listview. This is what
I've come up with sofar:

protected void ButAddClick(obj ect sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
OpenFileDialog MyDialog = new OpenFileDialog( );

MyDialog.Multis elect = true ;
MyDialog.Filter = "WAVE files (*.wav)|*.wav|A ll files (*.*)|*.*" ;
MyDialog.Restor eDirectory = true ;
MyDialog.Title = "Add Files";

if (MyDialog.ShowD ialog() == DialogResult.OK )
* foreach (int i in MyDialog.FileNa mes())
* listView.Items. Add(MyDialog.Fi leNames(i), i);
}

But the compiler says: "'System.Window s.Forms.FileDia log.FileNames'
denotes a 'property' where a 'method' was expected" about both lines with
a *.

Could someone explain to me what I'm doing wrong? TIA!

Not quite sure about your syntax. The FileNames points to an array. The
syntax for accessing an array in C# is wrong. It should be MyDialog

Few things wrong:

1) The FileNames property points to an array. Your syntax for accessing an
array in C# is wrong. It should be MyDialog.FileNa mes[i].
2) FileNames is an array of strings. Why are you extracting an integer
from the array in your foreach loop? Try "foreach(st ring s in
MyDialog.FileNa mes){listView.I tems.Add(s)}".
3) You never use "()" in a property syntax. This is what your system is
probably complaining about.

try replacing the lines you have marked with

int i = 0;
foreach (string fName in MyDialog.FileNa mes)
listView.Items. Add(fName, i++);

or

for( int i; i < MyDialog.FileNa mes.Count; i++)
listView.Items. Add( MyDialog.FileNa mes[i], i);
