how to select a ListViewItem from ListViewItemCollections using Linq in C#?
i tried on using this but it didn't work..
ListViewItemCollections lv = listview1.items;
var test = from xxx in lv where xxx.text = "data 1" select xxx;
test <--- now has the listviewitem with "data 1" as string value..
If you want to limit your search to just one column you can do so with
IEnumerable<ListViewItem> lv = listView.Items.Cast<ListViewItem>();
var rows = from x in lv
where x.SubItems[columnIndex].Text == searchTerm
select x;
if (rows.Count() > 0)
{
ListViewItem row = rows.FirstOrDefault();
//TODO with your row
}
