Adding Item to a List view

I'm trying to add 5 columns of data to a list view.

I've tried
lstPortfolio.Items(Count).SubItems(1).Text = Ticker
lstPortfolio.Items(Count).SubItems(2).Text = Convert.ToString(Shares)
lstPortfolio.Items(Count).SubItems(3).Text = Convert.ToString(Price)
lstPortfolio.Items(Count).SubItems(4).Text = Convert.ToString(Shares * Price)

but I get an error telling me that Count is out of range - because there are no rows in the list view.

I've also tried
lstPortfolio.Items.Add(Ticker & Shares & Price & Shares * Price) but all that does is put the strings together, not in separate columns.

I've come across a section that talks about adding an object class, but I'm HORRIBLE with getting classes to work

You can not access subitems that doesnt exist. If you're intending to add an new ListViewItem to the ListView, here's how you could do it:

VB.NET Code:

Dim Item As New ListViewItem(New String() {"this", "is", "a", "test"})
        ListView1.Items.Add(Item)

If you're intending to add subitems to an already existing listviewitem, you'd do:

VB.NET Code:

ListView1.Items(index).SubItems.Add("this is a new subitem")

How would I get variables into it.

I tried

Dim Item As New ListViewItem(New String() {Ticker, Convert.ToString(Price * Shares), Convert.ToString(Shares), Convert.ToString(Price), Convert.ToString(Price * Shares)})

but that just gave me 0 straight across the board.

Are you sure that the variables have been assigned to prior to executing that line?

They are now....:bigyello:

Thanks that worked perfectly
