ListViewItem.Tag value 'lost'

[Confus-Ed]

Hi,

I am using vb.net 2005 and have a Windows Form with two ListViews; The ListViews are diplayed on the
Design surface, but I am progmatically adding the items to each ListView.

When adding the items to the list view I am iterating through and
setting the following:

  ...
        With myListViewItem
            .Text = drArticles("Title").ToString
            .ToolTipText = drArticles("Summary").tostring
            .Tag = CType(drArticles("ID"),Guid)
        End With
        myListView.Items.Add
    ... [/VBCODE] 
 
The items are populated and dispalyed correctly in the ListView.
The problem arises when I respond to a SelectedIndexChanged, I get a reference to the selected item using:
 
[VBCODE] Dim mySelectedLVIC As System.Windows.Forms.ListView.SelectedListViewItemCollection
        mySelectedLVIC = ListView2.SelectedItems()
        If mySelectedLVIC .Count > 0 Then
            Dim myLvi As ListViewItem
            myLvi = mySelectedLVIC (0)
            
            Dim myLviSelectedIndex As Guid
            myLviSelectedIndex = CType(myLvi .Tag, Guid)
            DisplayArticle(myLviSelectedIndex )
        End If

I can retrieve the .ToolTipText and .Text values from then
SelectedListViewItemCollection but the .tag property is always empty (it
knows the object type is GUID but does not have the value). I know the
value is being set as I can set the ToolTipText to same ID as the TAG
and it is stored correctly.

Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance
