Solution 1

A quick way would be:

If row.Item("Status").toString = "True" then
mitem.subItems.Add("Active")
ElseIf row.Item("Status").toString = "False" then
mitem.subItems.Add("Inactive")
End If<pre>

Hey thanks for the code, it works fine... i m also trying to add a color to that particular value, i m doing the following but it doesnt work

 If row.Item("Status") = True Then
                    mitem.SubItems.Add("Active").ForeColor = Color.GreenYellow
                ElseIf row.Item("Status") = False Then

                End If

Solution 2

I think you have to set the listview UseItemStyleForSubItems property to false.
Check this[^]and this[^].
