Cast ListView Items to List?

Question

How can I cast ListView.Items to a List?

This is what I tried:

List list = lvFiles.Items.Cast

        

Answer 1

Try this using the Select method:

for list text:

List listText = lvFiles.Items.Select(item => item.Text).ToList();

for list values:

List listValues = lvFiles.Items.Select(item => item.Value).ToList();

Or maybe, for both:

Dictionary files = lvFiles.Items.ToDictionary(key => key.Value, item => item.Text);
