Yes, write some code that takes the data from each row and writes it to a file. But exactly how you do that will largely depend on what the data is and how you want it to be formatted in the file.

What have you tried so far?

Do you want to save all the rows and columns and what do you plan to use the text file for?

Yes, I do. I would separate the supposed listview to the two lists and again display as two listviews.

Writing the data in a text file should be really no problem, but you must write the data in a format to read it out. If it is all text, you can separate the item data with a newline "\n".

When you write the storing code you should also write the reading code. And write some test code to verify your solution ;-)

An "old school" solution would be ini-files with WritePrivateProfileString. Each item would be a numbered section.

You may also consider object serialization (just Googling, you may find tutorials and sample code on the web).

One option is to export listview to csv file and read back from there. csv is widely used and you can split the data items as you wish.

Google "export/import listview to csv."
