listview saving to a file

[andreD]

ok. i kinda got this going, but i have multi columns that i want to save. i'm missing something here...just dont know what.
I can get one column to save only. but i have columns like "name", "address", "phone number"

here is my Form1 code
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
ListView1.Columns.Add("Name", 100, HorizontalAlignment.Left)
ListView1.Columns.Add("Phone", 100, HorizontalAlignment.Center)
ListView1.Columns.Add("Address", 100, HorizontalAlignment.Right)

End Sub

Private Sub ListView1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListView1.SelectedIndexChanged

End Sub

Private Sub btnRemove_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnRemove.Click
lstAdd.removeFromList()
End Sub

Private Sub btnSave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSave.Click
lstAdd.save()
End Sub
End Class


this is part of the listboxInst class for save

Public Sub save()
Form1.SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
Dim path As String
Dim allItems As String

Dim i As Integer


Try
path = Form1.SaveFileDialog1.FileName
allItems = ""

For i = 0 To lv.ListView.Items.Count - 1
allItems = allItems & lv.ListView.Items.Item(i).Text & lv.SubItems.Item(i).Text & vbNewLine
Next

allItems = allItems.Trim
Catch ex As Exception
End Try

Try
If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(path) Then
My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile(path)
End If
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(path, allItems, False)

Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("Error" & vbNewLine & ex.Message, MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation, "error")
End Try

End Sub

if anyone can help i'd be very appreciative.

Think about the layout of a ListView. It's a grid/table, right? If you want to specify a field in that table you need to specify a row and a column, right? Are you doing that? You're only using 'i', so how is that going to specify both row and column?
