First of all make sure the List View's View property is set to Details otherwise the columns wont show up.

You can either do it in the properties window or programmatically

listView1.View = View.Details;

Then you can add data to multiple columns by passing them to one of ListViewItem Class' Initializer Overloads as an Array (with desired sequence) and add it to Your ListView's Items

listView1.Items.Add(new ListViewItem(new[] {"column 1" , "column 2", ... }));

BTW your code will look like something Like This :

listView1.View = View.Details;
            String[] mySample =
            {
                "item 1",
                "item 2",
                "item 3"
            };
            String[] myQuantity =
            {
                "1",
                "2",
                "3"
            };
            for (var i = 0; i < mySample.Count(); i++)
            {
                listView1.Items.Add(new ListViewItem(new[] {mySample[i],myQuantity[i]}));
            }

also a piece of advise , Stop using WindowsForms and Learn WPF instead ;)

You need only one ListViewItem per row.

string[] mysample = { "Sample A", "Sample B", "Sample C"};
string[] myquantity = { "1", "2", "3"};

for (int i = 0; i < mysample.Length; i++)
{
    string[] subitems = new string[] { mysample[i], myquantity[i] };
    ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem(subitems);
    listView1.Items.Add(item);
}

Also note that to display columns, you should set the View to Details.

ListBox View property set to Details
