Different Colored Items in ListView

[rahultaing]

can anyone tell me some way to set different colors for different Items that I add to my listview? I am inserting strings into a listview, but I want them to appear in different colors, how can I do that?

You can set the foreground and background colors of items in a list view, as in:

ListViewItem lvi = myListView.Items.Add ("Hello");
lvi.ForeColor = Color.Red;
lvi.BackColor = Color.Beige;

In reply to your email:

Do you know how do I do this:

I am adding items to a listView, but during runtime I see them being
displayed one next to the other, instead of one below the other.
I mean that I see that item 2 gets added to the listView and is
displayed parallel to item 1 present in the listView instead of being
displayed below item 1. Can you tell me the reason and possible
solution to display it one below the other?

Set the list view's View property to Details. /ravi PS: Am posting your email here so others may benefit from your question.
