c# - Trying to search ListView for subitems matching a string -

i'm having trouble scanning through listview locate subitem matching given string. here's code:

private void datetimepicker1_valuechanged(object sender, eventargs e)     {         string date = datepicker.value.toshortdatestring();         int count = program.booker.listview.items.count;          (int = 0; < count; i++)         {             listviewitem lvi = program.booker.listview.items[i];              if (lvi.subitems.equals(date))             {                 messagebox.show("found!", "alert");                 program.booker.listview.multiselect = true;                 program.booker.listview.items[i].selected = true;             }             else             {                 messagebox.show("nothing found " + date, "alert");             }         }     } 

the listview located on booker form, , i'm accessing filter class. i'd search entire listview items matching date string. thanks!

you can use finditemwithtext method.

listviewitem searchitem = null; int index = 0; {     if (index < program.booker.listview.items.count)     {         //true = search subitems         //last false param = no partial matches (remove if want partial matches)         searchitem = program.booker.listview.finditemwithtext(date, true, index, false);         if (searchitem != null)         {             index = searchitem.index + 1;               //rest of code         }     }     else         searchitem =null;  } while (searchitem != null);
