How to convert items in listView to files?-CodePudding

how i'm adding the files to the listview in constructor

listView1.View = View.List;
            string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(@"d:\New folder (4)");
            for (int i = 0; i < files.Length; i  )
            {
                listView1.Items.Add(files[i]);
            }

for example the first file in the listview is d:\New folder (4)\myimage.jpg when running the application i want to display the file in picturebox1

i tried this in the constructor

img1 = Image.FromFile(listView1.Items[0].ToString());

but getting error on that line

System.NotSupportedException: 'The given path's format is not supported.'

You must read the text of an item. Items[0] returns an object. You must read the Items[0].Text: so edit this line:

//img1 = Image.FromFile(listView1.Items[0].ToString());
img1 = Image.FromFile(listView1.Items[0].Text);

You need to react to the ItemSelectionChange event of the ListView control.

Also use the Text property of the ListViewItem to access the text of the item.

private void listView1_ItemSelectionChanged(object sender, ListViewItemSelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.IsSelected && e.Item != null)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(e.Item.Text);
    }
}
