vb.net - Create a custom listViewItem class to store additional hidden info - VB .Net -

i want store additional information listview item using custom class, can't seem work. i'm using code accomplish similar using listbox item. want same thing listview.

public class mylistboxitem    public id string    public rootfolder string    public name string    public info() string    public text string    public overrides function tostring() string        return me.text    end function end class 

i set properties this

private sub frmmain_load(byval sender system.object, byval e system.eventargs) handles mybase.load     dim item new mylistboxitem     item.text = "this test"     item.rootfolder = "c:\test"     item.id = "testid"     item.name = "test item"     item.info(0) = "some information"     lstexample.items.add(item) end sub 

then can access these additional properties using this:

private sub lstexample_selectedindexchanged(byval sender system.object, byval e system.eventargs) handles lstexample.selectedindexchanged     dim item mylistboxitem = ctype(lstexample.selecteditem, mylistboxitem)     messagebox.show(item.id)     messagebox.show(item.rootfolder)     messagebox.show(item.name)     messagebox.show(item.info(0)) end sub 

so question how can done listview? here tried:

public class mylistviewitem    public id string    public rootfolder string    public name string    public info() string    public text string    public overrides function tostring() string        return me.text    end function end class  private sub frmmain_load(byval sender system.object, byval e system.eventargs) handles mybase.load     dim item new mylistviewitem     item.text = "this test"     item.rootfolder = "c:\test"     item.id = "testid"     item.name = "test item"     item.info(0) = "some information"     lsvexample.items.add(item) end sub  private sub lsvexample_selectedindexchanged(byval sender system.object, byval e system.eventargs) handles lsvexample.selectedindexchanged     'problem next line     dim item mylistviewitem = ctype(lsvexample.selecteditems, mylistviewitem)     'tried too.. similar error     dim item2 mylistviewitem = ctype(lsvexample.selecteditems(0), mylistviewitem)     messagebox.show(item.id)     messagebox.show(item.rootfolder)     messagebox.show(item.name)     messagebox.show(item.info(0)) end sub 

the error "value of type 'system.windows.forms.listview.selectedlistviewitemcollection' cannot converted 'myproject.mylistviewitem"

make class mylistboxitem inherit listviewitem.
