Listview to File.....

[theonetrueace]

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...

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.

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

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());
       }
}
