Can someone point me in the right direction. I trying to have a Listview load from a set directory, that I choose. I have been looking for information on the net, but I have not found anything, or just have been to new to c# that I miss it totally. I like To have a Listview be populated with files from a set directory , and then the user can set its look, and then click on it to load it into a Player. Thia is for a media player I'm creating.

Maybe Try this code:

DirectoryInfo directory = new DirectoryInfo("C:\\");
            FileInfo[] files = directory.GetFiles();

            foreach (FileInfo file in files)
            {
                ListViewItem item = listView1.Items.Add(file.Name);
                item.ImageIndex = 0;
                item.Tag = file;
            }

Thanks for the Code. But can you help tell me some good places to help understand the listview functions more. I need to change the layout of the files and folders, and the option to change from a list, detail, or icon view. That is a lot of information to ask in a forum, so could someone tell me a good website or something to help understand all the functions of the listView. Thanks.
