You can try something like this if you know a specific column, for example, the Address will be colString [2] you can make one line
string[] colString = new string{ "Starting", "Paused", "Waiting" }; int colIndex = 0; foreach (ColumnHeader lstViewCol in lvFiles.Columns) { lstViewCol.Text = colString[colIndex]; colIndex++; }
for one column, you stated that you want a third column, then you could something like this
lvFiles.Colunns[2] = "waiting";
