C# Windows Forms ListView get selected row values
c#, listview, windows-forms-designer
Solution
if your ListView is in report mode (i.e. it looks like a grid) then you will need the SubItems property. `lvBrands.SelectedItems` gets you each items in the list view - SubItems gets you the columns. So `lvBrands.SelectedItems[0].SubItems[0]` is the second column value.
Problem
I have a `ListView` populated by a SQL db and want to be able to edit the values once I select a row and click the edit button. When I click the "edit" button the values from the selected row should be set in the textboxes, but I get this error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." Why isn't this working? ``` private void btnEdit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.txtid.Text = lvBrands.SelectedItems["id"].Text.ToString(); this.txtName.Text = lvBrands.SelectedItems["name"].Text.ToString(); } ```
