VB.NET ListView data from DLL (now working)

[jross]

I want to pass the name of a directory in as a string into a DLL and and pass back some of the information about the files in the directory and put it into a ListView (or something like it). I have this working as a class, but there I can pass the list view object into the class, a DLL will not allow me to pass the list view object. So what type of object do I need to pass that will load easily into a list view with sub-items?

The only thing I could find on the internet anywhere was the list view needed to be passed as an object, but there was no example, so if that is the case I will probably have more questions like does the object than need to be cast in the DLL and if so what needs to be imported, because I was getting no where.

Thank You

I got it to work.

Code: ( vb)

Imports System.Windows.Forms

Public Class MyDllClass
    Public Sub fillListView(lv As Object)
        lv.anchor = AnchorStyles.Top Or AnchorStyles.Bottom Or AnchorStyles.Left Or AnchorStyles.Right
        lv.CheckBoxes = True
        lv.FullRowSelect = True
        lv.View = System.Windows.Forms.View.Details 

        ' Adding ListView Columns
        lv.Columns.Add("Emp Name", 100, HorizontalAlignment.Left)
        lv.Columns.Add("Emp Address", 150, HorizontalAlignment.Left)
        lv.Columns.Add("Title", 60, HorizontalAlignment.Left)
        lv.Columns.Add("Salary", 50, HorizontalAlignment.Left)
        lv.Columns.Add("Department", 60, HorizontalAlignment.Left)

        Dim str(5) As String
        Dim itm As ListViewItem
        str(0) = "Rob Machy"
        str(1) = "100 North Ave"
        str(2) = "Business Manager"
        str(3) = "89,000"
        str(4) = "Development"
        itm = New ListViewItem(str)
        lv.Items.Add(itm)

        str(0) = "Bob Machy"
        str(1) = "101 North Ave"
        str(2) = "Business Manager"
        str(3) = "89,001"
        str(4) = "Development 1"
        itm = New ListViewItem(str)
        lv.Items.Add(itm)

    End Sub

End Class
