""sir if i click example 5 items??? because i have many texboxes... look like this..

thnx :)

Your source code do is it allows for only one item to be selected by user. The software then will show him; the selected items, and other two subitems in form2.

Perhaps thats not what you are hoping for, what do you want it to do?

YOu wanna pass data from ListView to the TextBoxes on some other Form (and create them as many as needed too)?

If so, 1st of all do NOT change Modifiers property to public. Leave them as private, and rather gather all the data from listView, put then into some collection (like genetic List<T>) and pass then to Form2 into constructor. There you create new TextBoxes, based on the number of items in a List<T>, and populate them from the list.
