How to add item from ListView to string?

Im trying to get all the items from a listview into a string like so:

foreach(ListViewItem item in ListView1.Items)
{
     thisstring += item...?
}

item.Text is not a property of item...can seem to figure this out. Any suggestions?

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
foreach(ListViewItem item in ListView1.Items)
{
     sb.Append(item.Text);
     sb.Append(',');
}

Console.WriteLine(sb.ToString().TrimEnd(','));

EDIT: As Tim and Guest said, there is not Text property for ListViewItem in ASP.Net, Windows Forms has ListViewItem and it has the text property. ASP.Net ListView does not have Text property

You could use LINQ to select all items' Text.

var allItems = ListView1.Items.Cast<ListItem>().Select(i => i.Text);
var allItemText = String.Join(",", allItems);

Note that you need to add the System.LINQ namespace.

Edit: I've read ListBox, a ListView does not have a Text property and i'm not sure what text you actually want to concat.

foreach(ListViewItem item in ListView1.Items)
{
     thisstring += item.Text+",";
}
    thisstring.TrimEnd(',');

isn't it that simple.

   string.Join(" ", ListView1.Items.Cast<ListItem>().Select(i => i.Text).ToArray());
