How to add border to items in a listview control using C#?

Question

I am using a listview control where I am adding Images through ImageList

if (dtPhoto.Rows.Count > 0)
{
foreach (DataRow dr in dtPhoto.Rows)
            {
                if (dr["Photo"].ToString() != "")
                {
                    byte[] barrImg = (byte[])dr["Photo"];
                    MemoryStream mStream = new MemoryStream(barrImg);
                    imageList.Images.Add(Image.FromStream(mStream));
                }
            }
        }

        imageList.ImageSize = new Size(75, 75);
        lvItem.LargeImageList = imageList;

        for (int i = 0; i < imageList.Images.Count; i++)
        {
            lvItem.Items.Add(dtPhoto.Rows[i]["Name"].ToString() + "\n" + "(" + dtPhoto.Rows[i]["Type"].ToString() + ")", i);
        }

I want to add border to each item in the Listview Is it possible? Please Help. Thanks in advance.

You can set OwnerDraw property of ListView to true, then handle DrawItem event and draw the border, for example:

private void listView1_DrawItem(object sender, DrawListViewItemEventArgs e)
{
    e.DrawDefault = true;
    e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.Red, e.Bounds);
}
