List view C# click on file to open it

Question

I have programmed a file explorer using treeView and listView in Visual Studio 2015 . The files that come up in the listView as an example a pdf file I want to double click on it to view its contents like windows explorer. How do I retrieve the full path of the file and then show it? Code please. Thank you.

To get full path create object of treeview selected node and then by using the property of FullPath the path of the selected node/file can be retrieved. And the name of the file can be retrieved from your Listview. Combining both the values with a seperator you can open the file. TreeNode selectedNode = TreeView1.SelectedNode; if (selectedNode != null) { ListViewItem item = ListView1.SelectedItems[0]; if (item != null) { path = selectedNode.FullPath + TreeView1.PathSeparator + item.Text; } } Hope this is what you was looking for and it helps :-)
