hello

ok, first i use visual studio 2010, im making app that

you have a textbox and a button called Open List, when you click on it, it will Open the .txt file from the textbox location.

now the .txt file looks like

setting1:true;setting2:false;setting3:true;

so its Setting : [true,false] or might be other options like if font it will be font:tahoma or size .. etc

So split the string on the ";" and add the items to your listview
Add a Delete button and when it's click, delete the selected item in you listview.
What exactly is the problem?

Sure I can write the code for you. I charge $250 USD per hour with a 4 hour minimum. I am booked solid until December so you will have to wait until then. If you can't wait then maybe you could read the documentation for the controls and try and write some code yourself.

Then feel free to actually do it yourself then. If it's so easy then why are you begging for someone to write the code for you?

A ListView is probably not what you want to use - it really isn't setup for that kind of thing, unless you display each line as a separate string - I don't think from your description that that is what you are trying to achieve. But...

C#

string rawData = @"setting1:true;setting2:false;setting3:true;";

Or:

C#

string rawData = File.ReadAllText(@"D:\Temp\Settings.txt");

Then:

C#

string[] pairs = rawData.Split(new char[] { ';' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
foreach (string pair in pairs)
    {
    listView1.Items.Add(pair);
    }

Will do it - sort of.

But you might be better off using a "more structured" control, such as a DataGridView:

C#

string rawData = @"setting1:true;setting2:false;setting3:true;";
string[] pairs = rawData.Split(new char[] { ';' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
List<KeyValuePair<string, string>> list = new List<KeyValuePair<string, string>>();
foreach (string pair in pairs)
    {
    string[] kv = pair.Split(':');
    list.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, string>(kv[0], kv[1]));
    }
dataGridView1.DataSource = list;
