Ensure all events are associated with their event-handling methods.

void ListView1_BeforeLabelEdit( Object^ sender,
   System::Windows::Forms::LabelEditEventArgs^ e )
{
   // Allow all but the first two items of the list to 
   // be modified by the user.
   if ( e->Item < 2 )
   {
      e->CancelEdit = true;
   }
}

private void ListView1_BeforeLabelEdit(object sender, 
    System.Windows.Forms.LabelEditEventArgs e)
{
    // Allow all but the first two items of the list to 
    // be modified by the user.
    if (e.Item<2)
    {
        e.CancelEdit = true;
    }
}


Private Sub ListView1_BeforeLabelEdit(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.LabelEditEventArgs) _
    Handles ListView1.BeforeLabelEdit

    ' Allow all but the first two items of the list to be modified by
    ' the user.
    If (e.Item < 2) Then
        e.CancelEdit = True
    End If
End Sub
