Listview items to list(Of string)

In C# or VB how can I add a listview items collection to a list but without iterating it using a loop?

The reason is I want to improve this:

For Each Item As ListViewItem In ListView.Items
   List.Add(Item)
Next

To something like this else:

List.AddRange(DirectCast(ListView.Items, ...))

You can use Cast<T>:

List.AddRange(ListView.Items.Cast<WhatTypeAmI>());

You can use LINQ:

list.AddRange(listView.Items.Cast<ListViewItem>().Select(lvi => lvi.Text));
