I've refined this using an extension method on the ListViewItemsCollection. In my opinion it makes the calling code more concise and also promotes more general reuse.
internal static class ListViewItemCollectionExtender
{
internal static void AddWithTextAndSubItems(
this ListView.ListViewItemCollection col,
string text, params string[] subItems)
{
var item = new ListViewItem(text);
foreach (var subItem in subItems)
{
item.SubItems.Add(subItem);
}
col.Add(item);
}
}
Calling the AddWithTextAndSubItems looks like this:
// can have many sub items as it's string array
myListViewControl.Items.AddWithTextAndSubItems("Text", "Sub Item 1", "Sub Item 2");
Hope this helps!
