Of course article code does "work for adding", otherwise the author could not demonstrate its operation. If an item cannot be added, there would be nothing to edit, right?

If you don't like the code provided by the author of this article, you can always look at how it works, get the idea and implement your own. I don't see any question here.

Of course you are right.. but the author is adding the items while loading the form. not dynamically..
I'll try to find the solution...

Oh, I see. Here is the thing: everything which works in Form.Load event handler, will work "dynamically" (you probably mean when a form is already shown). In a way, this is a "fake" event; I never use it, because this is the same as calling the same code as in your handler in the form constructor, at the end. So, I'm sure that if you add items "dynamically", it should work immediately. In word case, you might need to call Invalidate().
