How can you save a ListView items and SubItems side by side?
ListView1 contains the purchased items and the Subitems contains the price. Below is the example:

mid1

Purchases          Price
 Apple              5
 Orange             2

When I try to save the information, I get the following:

MIDL

ListViewItem: {Apple 1 @ 5}
ListViewItem: {Orange 1 @ 2}

Here is the Code I used:

VB

Dim W As IO.StreamWriter
        Dim i As Integer
        W = New IO.StreamWriter("C:\Daily Purchases" & ".txt")
        For i = 0 To ListView1.Items.Count - 1
            W.WriteLine(ListView1.Items.Item(i))
        Next
        W.Close()

Solution 1

Try:

VB

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
      Dim W As IO.StreamWriter
      Dim i As Integer
      W = New IO.StreamWriter("F:\TEMP\Daily Purchases" & ".txt")
      For i = 0 To ListView1.Items.Count - 1
          W.WriteLine(ListView1.Items.Item(i).Text + ":" + ListView1.Items.Item(i).SubItems(1).Text)
      Next
      W.Close()
  End Sub

and you will have

Apple:5
Banana:3

in your file.

One more question. Is there a way to leave about two tabs space between the apple and 5 in your code:
W.WriteLine(ListView1.Items.Item(i).Text + ":" + ListView1.Items.Item(i).SubItems(1).Text)

Just insert as many vbTab characters as you want, like + vbTab + vbTab + ":"
