How to interact with object in another method using C#?

I'm populating a self-made Windows Explorer using TreeView & ListView; and I'm currently working on Creating new Folder. What I want to do is when I press the "New Folder" button, a new listView Item would be added with the name "New folder". After that, let users type in the name of the folder by using BeginEdit() method.

private void buttonNewFolder_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            ListViewItem newFolder = listView1.Items.Add("New folder", 1);

            newFolder.BeginEdit();

        }





private void listView1_AfterLabelEdit(object sender, LabelEditEventArgs e)

        {

            Directory.CreateDirectory("C:\"+e.Label); //for example

            // Now how can I change some properties of the "newFolder" listView Item in the above methods (buttonNewFolder_Click) ?

        }

In listView1_AfterLabelEdit method, i use Directory.CreateDirectory("C:\"+e.Label); statement to create a new folder. But now, i want to change some properties of the above "newFolder" ListViewItem (for example Tag, ToolTipItem.. - for another use). How can I interact with that ListView Item in buttonNewFolder_Click method ??? Really really hope you guys can help ! Thanks sooo much in advanced !

ListViewItem newFolder;

private void buttonNewFolder_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
newFolder = listView1.Items.Add("New folder", 1);
newFolder.BeginEdit();
}

private void listView1_AfterLabelEdit(object sender, LabelEditEventArgs e)
{
Directory.CreateDirectory("C:\"+e.Label); //for example
//You now have access to newFolder here
}
