Alternate Color in ListView C# (.Net 3.5)?

I'm gonna set an alternate color to my ListView rows.

I saw this link but I'm using .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 , so I can't use it.

I've used the following code , but it has problem with ListView Sorting

ListViewItem newListViewItem = new ListViewItem(
    new string[] { item.name.ToString(), 
                   item.code.ToString() });
newListViewItem.BackColor = new Color(240,240,240);
newListViewItem.UseItemStyleForSubItems = true;
newListViewItem.Font = new Font("Tahoma", 9);
list开发者_如何转开发View1.Items.Add(newListViewItem);

Could you please guide me how I can do it?

It is quite unclear from your snippet, but I'll guess you want alternating colors. Even numbered items colored one way, odd numbered colored another way. Yes, very effective as a reading guide when you have a large number of columns in the view.

And yes, that's going to get mucked up when you sort the items. Right after sorting, you'll need a simple for loop that changes the BackColor property.

    private static void recolorListItems(ListView lv) {
        for (int ix = 0; ix < lv.Items.Count; ++ix) {
            var item = lv.Items[ix];
            item.BackColor = (ix % 2 == 0) ? Color.Beige : Color.White;
        }
    }

Call this after sorting. Or after filling the ListView. I suck at colors, please pick your own.
