How To Listview1.items.addrange(arraylist1)

i was trying to paint a row of a listbox item but ppl said that listview item is much better than a listbox and has the ability to paint items, what i couldnt get it to work however is to add an arraylist to the listview what ive tried was the following:

datasplit.AddRange(progressload.Split(New Char() {"'"c}))
Dim items As New List(Of ListViewItem)
items.AddRange(datasplit.ToArray)

[code]....

Is there any easy way to add an arraylist to listview?i forget, is there a possibility to make listview order items like a listbox? i dont want from left to right then down then left to right then down... etc I want them to be top down and keep like that no matter the dimensions of the listview.
