By far the simplest way is to just set the ListView.ContextMenuStrip property to your CMS, everything is automatic then. You can do so in the designer.

If you need a custom handler for some reason, to check if the right item was clicked for example, then you can call the Show() method property with code like this:

    private void listView1_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) {
        if (allowContextMenu(listView1.SelectedItems) {
            contextMenuStrip1.Show(listView1, e.Location);
        }
    }

You haven't shown any code, but if you're not calling the Show overload that takes a control as a parameter, the new Point(0, 0) that your obviously passing will put the menu in the upper left of the screen.
