C# - How to get/set ListViewItem or ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem by key?

c#, listview, subitem

Solution

You have to set the `Name` property of the `ListViewItem` or the `ListViewSubItem` to use the key.

From the `ListViesSubItem` documentation:

The Name property corresponds to the key for a ListViewItem..::.ListViewSubItem in a ListViewItem..::.ListViewSubItemCollection.

The same is true for the ListViewItem.

Problem

I have a listview with several items that are created dynamically, each has two subitems that are quantity and code after a query to the database should update the quantity, but to make the code more readable I would like to access subitems by the key and not by its index, something like: subitem["quantity"] but I don't see how to assign the key though collections.
