How to submit textbox text to listView in matching column in separate form

So I have Form1 and Form2. Form1 has listView1 inside which has 3 columns. Form2 has 3 textbox's which hold text. On Form2 there is a button to submit the text to the matching columns of Form1.

How would I get this to happen?

This may not make sense and I will help make sense if that's the case.

One approach would be to set up public properties for the text values in Form2. When you submit the data you apply the textbox values to these properties, and then you can retrieve them from the Form2 object in Form1. Here's an example:

Form2:

public string Name { get; set;}

private void buttonClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Name = txtbxName.Text;
    Close();
}

Form1:

var entryForm = new Form2();
entryForm.ShowDialog();

var text = entryForm.Name;
// Do whatever you want with `text`

EDIT: If you need help with inserting the data into the ListView object I can give an example for that as well.

EDIT 2: Let's assume that you have three variables containing the values you want to add to the view: name, age, sex. You should have some sort of unique ID value assigned to each record, so we'll also add an id variable.

With those populated you can add a new record to your ListView like so:

ListViewItem parent = listView1.Items.Add(id);
parent.SubItems.Add(name);
parent.SubItems.Add(age.ToString());
parent.SubItems.Add(sex);

My suggestion would be

1) On button_click call form1.show(). 2) create another method which takes three textbox value and binds to listbox. For reference use this link for binding: C# listView, how do I add items to columns 2, 3 and 4 etc?
