# How to select row from winforms listview in C#

Hi [mindstick](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/84668/how-mindstick-is-used-for-marketing-purposes)!

I have [listview](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12744/listview-in-android) which is populated with list of data. Now I want to [select](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/160534/orderby-then-select-vs-select-then-orderby-performance) desired row and on [click button](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/34274/how-to-pass-combobox-value-from-windows-form-edirrow-to-windows-form-form1-where-click-button) to recognize that item to [delete](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/33620/how-to-delete-record-from-list-in-mvc-using-ajax) from a collection.

[Question](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/23175/how-to-solve-neet-question-paper-in-less-time) is how to recognize selected row from the listview?

[private](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/11097/java-access-modifiers-the-public-and-the-private-modifiers) void buttonDelete_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

//selected data is of [custom](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/12298/use-custom-writing-services-to-get-through-the-finals) type SelectedData

var selected = (SelectedData)....?

}

Thanks in [Advanced](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12993/5-advanced-features-for-your-odoo-ecommerce-theme)!

data is of custom type MyData        var selected =
yourListView.SelectedItems.First();    }
```
