Listview to File.....

is there a quick and simple way of saving the items in a listview to file?....i would also want to load them back into a listview so readable formatting is not of concern...

AcE

when u say items do u mean rows of data?

if yes then you could save them as a text file, a new line for each row, and with a comma seperating each value, or in a database.

Let me know if you need some code.

yes yes code would be wut im fishing for here....lol....

I got some C# code here, it saves the listbox contents to a textfile.

Code:

---

private void SaveList()
{
    string sTemp;
    string sTemp1;

    // Get the name the list is supposed to be saved as.
    sTemp = "C:\Myfile.txt";

    // Loop through and save all items in list.
    if(lb.Items.Count > 0)
    {
        try
        {
                // Create a StreamWriter object to write to the file.
        StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(sTemp.ToString(),false);

        // Write the information to the file one line at a time.
        for(int i = 0; i < lb.Items.Count; i++)
        {
            sTemp1 = lb.Items[i].ToString();
            writer.WriteLine(sTemp1);
        }
                                       
        // Close the StreamWriter object.
        writer.Close();
      }
      catch(System.Exception except)
      {
          except.Message.ToString());
      }
}
