Thread: listview question

ListViews have ColumnClick Events. The second parameter of this event has a member of type ColumnHeader. This is the ColumnHeader that was clicked.

Okay so i found out how to get the selected item...But now my code is giving me alil problem ..which i have no idea about..

Code:

private void bookingListView_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
	{
		clearFields();
		OleDbDataReader dbReader = null;
		string[] columns = new string[15];

		try 
		{
			conn = new OleDbConnection(@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;
										User Id =; Password=; 
										Data Source=C:\professional\database"  + @"\" + companys[companyComboBox.SelectedIndex] + @"\" + companys[companyComboBox.SelectedIndex] + @"_data.mdb" );
			conn.Open();
			OleDbCommand cmd =  conn.CreateCommand();
			cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM "+ client.GetKey(clientComboBox.SelectedIndex).ToString().Replace(' ','_');
			
				
			dbReader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
		

			//while( dbReader.Read() )
			//{
			MessageBox.Show(bookingListView.SelectedItems[0].Text/*bookingListView.Items[0].SubItems[0].Text*/,"" ,MessageBoxButtons.OK );
			
			//}
						
					
		//	conn.Close();
		}

		catch( Exception error )
		{
			MessageBox.Show("Exception: " + error.Message, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK );
		}
		finally
		{
			if ( conn != null )
			{
				conn.Close();
			}
		}
	
	}

The exception thrown was "specific argument was out of the range of valid values.Parameter name : index"

It still works fine after throwing the exception ....When i try doing this bookingListView1.SelectedItems[1].Text it throws the same exception ..

bookingListView.SelectedItems[0].Text

There is not necessarily any SelectedItems. If you deselected the item, you will also get an SelectedIndexChanged event, but you will not have any SelectedItems.

Try

foreach( ListViewItem item in x.SelectedItems )
{
// action
}

OR

make sure you have selected items by querying SelectedItems.Count

thanks ...Actually i used another method and it worked ..
