How to store Listview items in a list?

Question

Hello,

I want to store all listview items in a list, or to convert in a table, but I get unable to cast error.

I tried using for each :

foreach ( var item in ListView.Items)
                    {
                        list.ListItems.Add(item);
                    }

Best regards,

Answer 1

Is list a List<string> ? and are the items in your ListView of type ListViewItem ?

If so then try,

List<string> list = new List<string>();

foreach (ListViewItem item in ListView.Items)
{
    list.Add(item.ToString());
}

Since you are getting an "unable to cast" error, it may be because the items in your ListView are not of type ListViewItem. In that case, you can try using the ItemsSource property of the ListView to get the data source of the ListView and cast it to the appropriate type like below

List<Person> personList = new List<Person>();

foreach (Person person in ListView.ItemsSource)
{
    personList.Add(person);
}

You should provide more context such as the platform you're working on. The code context such as what type of the list ,ListViewobject, how it's declared.
