Good Day Everyone

I have created a Windows -Forms - application, the application, list books, and audio(tapes, vinyl's) and there details and passes the values received from the user, to a ListView Control. I want to save the values passed to the LIstView control, in a text File, and then be able to load that textFile's with the values, back to ListView when application loads.

I am using visual studio 2012, and writing in C#.

any help would really be appreciated.

Thank you

In other words you want serialize the ListView, but, please don't. See this Code Project Q&A: "[C#] serializing and deserializing a ListView"[^].

I'd suggest to read this: Custom Data Binding, Part 1[^]. This is very interesting article, which might help you to understand how to bind data to ListView control.
