How to convert code snipped from VB6 to Visual Studio 2005/VB (VB7?)

vb newbie

I found some sample VB code which I'm trying to implement in Visual
Studio 2005. I think the code was VB6. VS05 doesn't like the syntax.
I've distilled things down to the part with the error:

Public Sub WontRun(ByVal v As ListView)
        Dim x As ListItem
        x = v.ListItems.Add(, , "c:\test\file.txt")
End Sub

Error   1       'ListItems' is not a member of
'System.Windows.Forms.ListView'.

Does anybody know what the correct code would be for this under Visual
Studio 2005/VB?

Assuming "v" is a listview control:

Dim x as ListViewItem
x = v.Items.Add(, , "c:\test\file.text")

Thanks,

The syntax for ListView in VS05 is somewhat different than in VB6.

This is a very elementry question. The answer can easily be found in the Help file,
with simple example. Lookup ListView Control, adding list iems, and, adding
ListSubItems.

Have you tried the VB 6 converter in VS 2005? It handles short code
segments really well. Just don't use it for entire projects as it will make
a mess of the converted code.
