That line does not copy the contents, it just makes listView1 refer to whatever lv was referring to. After executing that statement, both listView1 and lv refer to the same object.

Making listView1 refer to another object by writing listView1 = lv will not change the ListView object in the Controls collection.

Actually, I am retrieving data from a database and populating a ListView object with it. The UI operation seems to be slow and so I thought I would do it in the memory

ListView listView;

delegate void UpdateListViewDelegate(List<ListViewItem> listViewItems);
void DBDataLoaderThread()
{
  List<ListViewItem> items = new List<ListViewItem>();
  ...
  while (dataReader.Read())
  {
     items.Add(new ListViewItem(...));
  }
  listView.BeginInvoke(new UpdateListViewDelegate(UpdateListView), new object[] { items } );
}

void UpdateListView(List<ListViewItems> listViewItems)
{
   foreach(ListViewItem item in listViewItems)
   {
      listView.Items.Add(item);
   }
}

void UpdateListView(List<ListViewItems> listViewItems)
{
   listView.BeginUpdate();
   foreach(ListViewItem item in listViewItems)
   {
      listView.Items.Add(item);
   }
   listView.EndUpdate();
}

If it's the latter, you can use BeginUpdateListView and EndUpdate after it - this will prevent the ListView from repainting after adding each element.
