Hi Eva,

To add items to a listview you have to add "listviewit em"

Have a look at this page,

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...classtopic.asp

If you still have problems after that message again OK?

Hi Eva,

It is always a gamble but I think this can it be
Dim Item1 As New ListViewItem(Ch osenDate, 0)
Item1.SubItems. Add(ChosenRoom)
Item1.SubItems. Add("ChosenLayo ut")
LViewSelRooms.I tems.AddRange(N ew ListViewItem() {Item1})


Dim Item1 As New ListViewItem(Ch osenDate, 0)
Item1.SubItems. Add(ChosenRoom)
Item1.SubItems. Add("ChosenLayo ut")
LViewSelRooms.I tems.Add(Item1)

I hope this is the sollution.
(Cannot be that big beside it if it is not).

Hi Cor,

I made the ammendment and im still getting the same
error!!
The problem seems to occur when i remove the quote marks
("") from around the item that is being added.

i.e if i add the following code...
Item1.SubItems. Add("ChosenRoom ")
it works fine but it only adds the value ChosenRoom into
my listview.

I want to add the value that is contained in this
varibale to be added in the listview so i tried...
Item1.SubItems. Add(ChosenRoom)
this however produces the error...

Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'Add'
can be called with these arguments:
'Public Overloads Function Add(text As String) As
System.Windows. Forms.ListViewI tem.ListViewSub Item': Value
of type 'System.Data.Sq lTypes.SqlStrin g' cannot be
converted to 'String'.
'Public Overloads Function Add(item As
System.Windows. Forms.ListViewI tem.ListViewSub Item) As
System.Windows. Forms.ListViewI tem.ListViewSub Item': Value
of type 'System.Data.Sq lTypes.SqlStrin g' cannot be
converted
to 'System.Windows .Forms.ListView Item.ListViewSu bItem'.
how do i actually add the value contained in the variable
into the listview?

thx

Hi,

What i just found out is that this may be a datatype
problem. It doesnt seem to like the sqlstring datatype
that i am using. I tried changing this to just STRING i.e.
.....
Dim ChosenLayout As String
ChosenLayout = CBoxLayout.Sele ctedItem

but i get a message stating...
An unhandled exception of
type 'System.Invalid CastException' occurred in
microsoft.visua lbasic.dll
Additional information: Cast from type 'SqlString' to
type 'String' is not valid.

what can i do to correct this?

Hi Eva,

The first thing you should to put the Option Strict On in top of your
program.
(It does not help but shows you this kind of errors in develope time).

Often something simple as

a = b.tostring does than help.

But try first this.

(I do not direct understand on that place that cast error from string to
string but try this first please)

You might find it useful to inherit from a listViewItem
and add your object as a custom property.
eg.

Private Class MyListViewItem
Inherits Windows.Forms.L istViewItem

Private m_obj As Object

Friend Sub New(ByVal Text As String, ByVal SomeObject
as Object)
Me.m_obj = SomeObject
MyBase.New(Text )
With MyBase.SubItems
.Add(m_obj.Some Property)
.Add(m_obj.Some OtherProperty)
End With
MyBase.UseItemS tyleForSubItems = False
End Sub

Friend ReadOnly Property SomeObject() As Object
Get
Return Me.m_obj
End Get
End Property
End Class

Dim obj1 as New object
obj1.SomeProper ty = "Ben"
obj1.SomeOtherP roperty = "Reese"
'you can then add you inherited object to the list view
ListView1.Add(N ew MyListViewItem( "HI", obj1))

Dim obj2 as object
obj2 = Ctype(ListView1 .Items(0),MyLis tViewItem).Some Object

msgBox(String.F ormat("Hello {0}
{1}",obj2.SomeP roperty,obj2.So meOtherProperty ))

I have found this approach to be extremely usefull in a
number of situations.

you do have a data type problem

Lisview items and sub items take strings as parameters not
sqlString.

Consider using the ToString method on the SqlString

Dim s as New System.Data.SQL Types.SQLString ("SELECT * FROM
Products")

Listview.Items. Add("Hi")
ListView.Items( 0).SubItems.Add (s.ToString)

Alternatively see my earlier post which has accidently
gone in higher up the tree on inheriting from the
listviewitem.
