Hi friends, am NanaKwame.
Please I want to delete a single row or multiple rows from a listview control using a delete button. If I select the first row is able to delete the selected row from the listview, but if I select second row or any other row apart from the first row is not able to delete the selected row but rather delete the first row that is the first index number which is zero(0) in the listview control.

Listview is the name of the listview control I used.
Any assistance will be of great help to me. Thanks in advance.
Below is the code I used.

VB

Dim x As Integer
       For x = 0 To ListView.SelectedIndices.Count - 1
           Me.ListView.Items.RemoveAt(x)
       Next

Okay. Let's see if I can explain this simply. The reason that you are deleting the first row (0) when the selected row is something other than the first row is because you are using x as the index of the row to delete. What is the value of x? The value of x is 0 the first time. To delete the selected row from your listview, you would need to use the indexes contained in the ListView.SelectedIndices property, NOT x. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.listview.selectedindices.aspx
