Source of listview - Windows Forms c#

Question

I have List of objects of class Book:

 public static List<Book> ListBooks = new List<Book>() {
            new Book(1, "Title", "Author", 2004)            };

Now, I want to insert this list to ListView in Window Form. In WPF it's easy, but in Windows Forms "DataSource" does not work.

I added some columns, but how can I bind this list to listview?

Then you have to populate it manually. WinForms `ListView` (and `TreeView`) controls do not support data binding :( — Ivan Stoev, Jun 04 '16 at 11:56
What do you think about using the loop, which will add this data to ListView in some way? — nvent, Jun 04 '16 at 12:04

Ok, I found solution:

foreach (Book b in Program.ListBooks)
            {
                ListViewItem lvi = new ListViewItem();
                lvi.Text = b.IdBook.ToString();
                lvi.SubItems.Add(b.Author);
                lvi.SubItems.Add(b.Title);
                lvi.SubItems.Add(b.Year.ToString());
                listViewBooks.Items.Add(lvi);
            }
