Passing Data To ListView From Another Class

Question

Hi I have a listview on a form and I am trying to add data to it from a method in another class. What's the best way to go about this? Setting listview to Public? Setting up properties? Everything I have tried has failed. I keep getting errors like inaccessible due to its protection level & that listview is a non-static field. I am a bit lost on what to do can someone help. Jay

I think you are trying to set the datasource of the listview in one Form from another class. And you have already answered it by stating that it is a non-static field. The best way to go about it is to instantiate the class in your Form execute that method and set the datasource in your Form rather than trying to set the datasource from your class. HTH.

As a designer the solution would be to create a list or array or some collection in the other class and then pass the collection to the form. Perhaps I just don't understand Raja's answer; perhaps he is saying essentially same thing as what I am saying.
