Remarks

Before the ListView control can be rendered, a ListViewItem object must be created for each item in the control. The ItemCreated event is raised every time that an item in the ListView control is created. This enables you to provide an event-handling method that performs a custom routine whenever an item is created, such as adding custom content to an item.

Similarly, before the ListView control can be rendered, every item in the control must be bound to a record in the data source. The ItemDataBound event is raised when an item (represented by a ListViewItem object) is bound to data in the ListView control. This enables you to perform a custom routine whenever an item is bound to data, such as modifying the values of the data before they are displayed.

A ListViewItemEventArgs object is passed to the event-handling method, which enables you to access the properties of the item that raised the event. To determine which item type (data item, empty item, or insert item) is being created, use the ItemType property of the ListViewItem object.

For a list of initial property values for an instance of ListViewItemEventArgs, see the ListViewItemEventArgs constructor.
