Selecting an item in the list view programatically

Question

I have a list view in windows forms. _listView1. I wish to programatically select an item in the listview. I say _listView1.Items[i].Select=true;

But that doesn't solve the problem. The item doesn't get selected.

Thanks for the replies Soner Gonul, TwoMore and user2025312. The Select was a typo. Apologies. I had "Selected" in my code.And I tried the steps mentioned in the links specified for no luck and then posted this question. — Vi137, Apr 08 '13 at 11:09

Thanks Grant Thomas. Select was a typo. I had used Selected only and the problem persists – Vi137 Apr 08 '13 at 11:10

_listView1.Items[i].Selected = true;

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the item is selected.
