[RESOLVED] XML Function does not add items to ListView. Why?

[thegreatone]

I call the following code:

Public Sub LoadXML(ByVal file As String, ByVal ListViewName As ListView)
 
        Dim XMLfile As New XmlTextReader(file)
        XMLfile.WhitespaceHandling = WhitespaceHandling.None
        XMLfile.Read()
        XMLfile.Read()
 
        While Not XMLfile.EOF
            If Not XMLfile.IsStartElement() Then 'Check it's actually a tag and not crap.
                Exit While
            End If
            Dim X As New ListViewItem
            Dim FileName = XMLfile.GetAttribute("fn")
            XMLfile.Read()
            Dim artist = XMLfile.ReadElementString("artist")
            Dim title = XMLfile.ReadElementString("title")
            Dim album = XMLfile.ReadElementString("album")
 
            X = ListViewName.Items.Add(FileName)
            X.SubItems.Add(artist)
            X.SubItems.Add(title)
            X.SubItems.Add(album)
        End While
        XMLfile.Close()
 
    End Sub

Using the following call:

LoadXML("C:\Users\Dev\Documents\Sample.XML", Form2.ListView2)

However, no errors are shown, the items are not added to the ListView.
Also, if i check the values of "artist", it is populated, as are the rest.
It just, for some reason, does not add to a listview on another form.

Dim X As New ListViewItem(FileName)
X.SubItems.Add(artist)            
X.SubItems.Add(title)            
X.SubItems.Add(album)
ListViewName.Items.Add(X)

also your variables aren't declared properly:

Dim FileName = XMLfile.GetAttribute("fn")

should be:

Dim FileName as string = XMLfile.GetAttribute("fn")

Got it, i realised i was calling the wrong form, i should have used:

LoadXML("C:\Users\Dev\Documents\Sample.XML", FormSingleton(Of Form2).Form.ListView2)

As i created the form using a custom class written by someone here on these boards.


EDIT: (To the post above) And yep, i noticed that reading my code back, it is fixed now
