Hello,

I'm trying to display all of the selected files a user selects. But after I run the program, click the button, and make the selections the ListVie still comes up empty.
The code I used is this:

What I have tried:

C#

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  using(OpenFileDialog fle = new OpenFileDialog())
  {
    fle.Filter = "Text, PHP, and Javascript (*.txt, *.php, *.js) | *.txt; *.php; *.js | PHP (*.php) | *.php | Text (*.txt) | *.txt | Javascript (*.js) | *.js | All files(*.*) | *.*";
    fle.Multiselect = true;
    DialogResult answer = fle.ShowDialog();
    if (answer == DialogResult.OK)
    {
      listView1.Clear();
      ListViewItem lvi = new ListViewItem(fle.FileNames);
      listView1.Items.Add(lvi);
    }
  }
}

Why is the ListView not filling up?
Thanks for the help,

Your code is almost ok, try this:

listView1.View = View.List;
listView1.Clear();

foreach (var item in fle.FileNames)
{
    ListViewItem lvi = new ListViewItem(item);
    listView1.Items.Add(lvi);
}
