    Hello,

    while looking at this site:

    https://plasserre.developpez.com/cours/vb-net/?page=ui-winforms3#LVIII-H-4

    you find this: 

    'Set the background of a cell to red ListView1.Items(2).UseItemStyleForSubItems= False ListView1.Items(2).SubItem(3).BackColor= Colors.Red 'Set a row to green ListView1.Items(2).BackColor= Colors.Lime

      Look closely, you missed a point after color that should be colors with an s. In programming, a space, a period, etc. changes everything!

      Thank you very much, I find this very interesting and useful folder. However, "colors.lime" is not accepted with an "S" at the end of color, but "color.lime." I don't know why, if you could let me know.
      Thanks again for your valuable help.

    Indeed, it's a mistake on the website:

    there's a missing "s" in SubItem

    there's an extra "s" in Colors 

     'Set the background of a cell to red ListView1.Items(0).UseItemStyleForSubItems = False ListView1.Items(0).SubItems(0).BackColor = Color.Red 'Set a row to green ListView1.Items(0).BackColor = Color.Lime


    If you put Option Strict On at the top of your code, the errors will show up, and you just need to right-click to fix them.

    Another tip is that if you put a dot after Color, a context menu will appear with all the colors. This applies to everything:

    ListView1.Items(0).

    for example will display SubItems

    Happy coding
