This error happens when the index parameter is less than 0 or greater than the value of the Count property of the ListView.ListViewItemCollection.

To avoid this problem, use the Add method to insert the item in the last position or use the index 0 to inset always int he first one.

If you want to insert at an specific position, then be sure that there are enough items in the ListViewItemCollection and that the position index is less than the Count property.

Hope this helps
