listview subitem select problem

[Geespot]

Hi,

i have a listview ( view property set to Details ) fully populated and i want to be able to, when the listview item is changed it to tell me whats in the second column along. To do this i have used..

Private Sub ListView1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListView1.SelectedIndexChanged
        MsgBox(ListView1.SelectedItems.Item(0).SubItems(1).Text)
    End Sub

Now if i click on a item in the listview, it popups a msgbox telling whats in the second column along, but if i then choose another item i get the following error

Additional information: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.

can someone please explain what im doing wrong

trap the error to get some better error description

Private Sub ListView1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListView1.SelectedIndexChanged
on error goto errHandler
        MsgBox(ListView1.SelectedItems.Item(0).SubItems(1).Text)
exit sub
errHandler:
msgbox err.description.tostring
 
    End Sub

or use try - catch.

what error description are you getting? sometimes it is more usefull than the error message you receive

Additional information: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.

i didnt think about using try, i will try that, thanks
