copied!<p>I looked at some of what's going on in ListView under the hood and think this is probably the best approach.</p> <pre><code>void listView_ItemCreated(object sender, ListViewItemEventArgs e) { // exit if we have already selected an item; This is mainly helpful for // postbacks, and will also serve to stop processing once we've found our // key; Optionally we could remove the ItemCreated event from the ListView // here instead of just returning. if ( listView.SelectedIndex > -1 ) return; ListViewDataItem item = e.Item as ListViewDataItem; // check to see if the item is the one we want to select (arbitrary) just return true if you want it selected if (DoSelectDataItem(item)==true) { // setting the SelectedIndex is all we really need to do unless // we want to change the template the item will use to render; listView.SelectedIndex = item.DisplayIndex; if ( listView.SelectedItemTemplate != null ) { // Unfortunately ListView has already a selected a template to use; // so clear that out e.Item.Controls.Clear(); // intantiate the SelectedItemTemplate in our item; // ListView will DataBind it for us later after ItemCreated has finished! listView.SelectedItemTemplate.InstantiateIn(e.Item); } } } bool DoSelectDataItem(ListViewDataItem item) { return item.DisplayIndex == 0; // selects the first item in the list (this is just an example after all; keeping it simple :D ) } </code></pre> <p><strong>NOTES</strong></p> <ul> <li>ListView selects the template an item will use after it's DataBinding event fires. So if the SelectedIndex is set before then, no more work is necessary</li> <li>Setting the SelectedIndex anywhere after DataBinding works, you just don't get the SelectedItemTemplate. For that you have either rebind the data; or reinstantiate the SelectedItemTemplate on the ListViewItem. <em>be sure to clear the ListViewItem.Controls collection first!</em></li> </ul> <p><strong>UPDATE</strong> I have removed most of my original solution, since this should work better and for more cases.</p>
