How I can add in one step an Array of string into a Listview for example using LINQ or Casting methods?
This is what I've tried but does not work:
ListView1.Items.AddRange("a b c d e f".Split(" ").ToArray _
.Select(Function(x) New ListViewItem(x)))
UPDATE:
Another try, does not work:
ListView1.Items.AddRange( _
New ListView.ListViewItemCollection( _
{"Value 1", "Value 2", "Value 3"} _
.Select(Function(x) New ListViewItem(x))))
AddRange expects an array but the Select function returns an IEnumerable. So you just have to add ToArray to the end of the expression.
Since Split returns a string array there is no need to add a call to ToArray there.
This will do the job:
ListView1.Items.AddRange("a b c d e f".Split(" "c) _
.Select(Function(x) New ListViewItem(x)) _
.ToArray)
Select expects an argument of type Func(Of String, TResult). New ListViewItem(x) is of type ListViewItem. Besides that x is not defined.
It seems you have to set the first column with 'Items.Add' and the rest of the columns with 'SubItems.AddRange'. This is the code I use to accomplish that:
string[] arr = "column1|column2|column3".Split('|');
ListView1.Items.Add(arr[0]).SubItems.AddRange(new string[] { arr[1], arr[2] });
ListView1.Items.AddRange("a b c d e f".Split(" ".ToCharArray()))
The above should be the correct syntax in order to add those characters as the list
EDIT Think I missed the ListViewItem collection out
ListView1.Items.AddRange(new ListViewItem("a b c d e f".Split(" ".ToCharArray())))
Done!
I hope this helps someone else:
' Set the Array content
Dim Items As String() = "ABC DEF GHI JKL".Split
' Add them in one step
ListView1.Items.AddRange(Items.Select(Function(x) New ListViewItem(x)).ToArray)
