Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        'SET LISTVIEW PROPERTIES
        ListView1.View = View.Details
        ListView1.FullRowSelect = True

        'CONSTRUCT COLUMNS
        ListView1.Columns.Add("Name", 150)
        ListView1.Columns.Add("Position", 150)
        ListView1.Columns.Add("Team", 150)

    End Sub

    Private Sub Populate()
        ListView1.Items.Clear()

        'ROW ARRAY
        Dim row As String() = New String() {"Jones", "Defender", "Man Utd"}
        Dim item As New ListViewItem(row)

        ListView1.Items.Add(item)

        row = New String() {"Smalling", "Defender", "Man Utd"}
        item = New ListViewItem(row)
        ListView1.Items.Add(item)

        row = New String() {"Ramsey", "Midfielder", "Arsenal"}
        item = New ListViewItem(row)

        ListView1.Items.Add(item)

        row = New String() {"Terry", "Defender", "Chelsea"}
        item = New ListViewItem(row)

        ListView1.Items.Add(item)
