A small correction in Robban's answer

 ListViewItem itemToAdd;
 bool exists = false;
 foreach (ListViewItem item in yourListView.Items)
 {
    if(item == itemToAdd)
    {
       exists=true; 
       break; // Break the loop if the item found.
    }
 }
 if(!exists)
 {
    yourListView.Items.Add(itemToAdd);
 }
 else
 {
    MessageBox.Show("This item already exists");
 }
