Solution 1

Try item.SubItems[0].Text. Change the index for the particular subitem(s) you want.

Two things are totally wrong.

This is not a proper way of working with XML. Here is my overview of the approaches you could use:

Use System.Xml.XmlDocument class. It implements DOM interface; this way is the easiest and good enough if the size if the document is not too big.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmldocument.aspx[^].
Use the classes System.Xml.XmlTextWriter and System.Xml.XmlTextReader; this is the fastest way of reading, especially is you need to skip some data.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmlwriter.aspx[^], http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmlreader.aspx[^].
Use the class System.Xml.Linq.XDocument; this is the most adequate way similar to that of XmlDocument, supporting LINQ to XML Programming.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmldocument.aspx[^], http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb387063.aspx[^].

Now, about the ListViewItem. You miss its structure. A single instance of ListViewItem represents a single row of your view. Your item.Text represents the only the text which is shown in a leftmost cell. How about the cells shown on right? They are represented by sub-items you completely miss. You need to iterate them under each list view item:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.listviewitem.subitems.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1x4396ba.aspx[^].

Something like

C#

ListView myListView = new ListView();

//...

foreach (ListViewItem item in myListView.Items) {
    // add item.Text here
    foreach (ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem subitem in item.SubItems)
        // add each subitem....
}
