ListView column keys

I've always tended to give keys to my ListView columns so that I can be sure that I'm editing the correct sub item. For example:

Code:

---

itmItem.SubItems(lvwData.Columns("Port").SubItemIndex) = "Dover"

---

... sets the "Port" column for the current ListView item to "Dover". However, I can't find the .Net equivalent - it seems to only allow you to reference the columns by the integer index value. Is there a way around this, or am I just going to have to make sure that I don't move or add to my columns?

Thanks...

How about the 'tag' property of the listviewitem !!

I can't refer to the item using the tag, though. :(

Can't find any other ways , rather than trying IndexOf or making your own ListView control .

From what source are you adding items to the listview? Is it from a database, xml file or what? I know a solution to the problem you are having, but need a little more information to be able to expalin how to do it.
