C# listview subitems not showing up

I'm a beginner in C# and I am trying to create a simple view, where I have data listed into two separate columns in a ListView. I have created the columns, and added subItems to two different ListViewItems. However, when compiling only the main item shows up, an no SubItems are present. 

listView1.Columns.Add("Client Code");
listView1.Columns.Add("Client Name");


 ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem("Client Code");


        ListViewItem item2 = new ListViewItem("Client Name");

        listView1.Items.AddRange(new ListViewItem[] {item, item2});

        foreach(string clientCode in clientCodes) 
        //clientCode is a list of Strings initialized earlier in the code
        {

        listView1.Items[0].SubItems.Add(code);

        }

I have also tried the following, with no success:

ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem("Client Code");

        ListViewItem item2 = new ListViewItem("Client Name");

foreach(string clientCode in clientCodes) 
        //clientCode is a list of Strings initialized earlier in the code
        {

        item.SubItems.Add(code);

        }

        listView1.Items.AddRange(new ListViewItem[] {item, item2});

Simply adding 

item.SubItems.Add("test");

or 

listView1.Items[0].SubItems.Add("test");

also has no effect.

The output of the code above is two columns, one with "Client Code" and one with "Client Name" but no additional data.

What am I doing wrong, why isn't any of the data showing up in the columns?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

We need to set the View property of ListView as View.Details before adding items to display the items as shown below.

listView1.View = View.Details;
listView1.Columns.Add("Client Code");
listView1.Columns.Add("Client Name");
