Split a long string data and display it in multiple lines of a ListView

[Dineshgirij]

I want to display a long string that is fetched from the database in a ListView.
As of now, the string is displayed in a single line of the ListView which makes it difficult to read the entire data.

I want it to be displayed in multiple lines within the ListView.

pls reply .... :-)

There's probably a better way, but this seems to work...

String longstring = "aaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbccccccccccdddddddddd";
String shortstring;

for (int i = 0; i < longstring.Length; i += 10)
{
    if ((i + 10) <= longstring.Length)
        shortstring = longstring.Substring(i, 10);
    else
        shortstring = longstring.Substring(i, (longstring.Length - i));
    listView1.Items.Add(shortstring);
}

If it is a plain text without any metadata, then it makes no sence to display it in ListView. By what rule would you split it? Display it in TextBox with Multiline property set to true.

Dear foamy,

In fact the string in question, is being fetched from a database and it comes within a Datatable. Moreover, I'm using MS Access file for this project.
so I'm finding it difficult to split it in the way that u have suggested.

so, if u know any other means by which the splitting can be done do let me know about that..

thankyou :-)

That shouldn't really matter... As long as you retrieve the string from somewhere.

However, you should do as boudino suggested...
