C# - Save ListView contents as XML (With multicolumns) and read on Form_Load

My application has a ListView control that has data added to it across several columns and rows. When the form is closed (calling the Form_Closing event), the contents are saved to an XML file. Then, at the following run time, the XML document is read and its contents are displa开发者_开发百科yed in the ListView control. For some reason, it only loads the first column and doesn't save all of the data. I am new to using XML to save data. Any and all help will be appreciated.

This is what I have so far, I'm sure there are plenty of errors:

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        System.Xml.XmlDocument loadDoc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
        loadDoc.Load(Application.StartupPath + "\\Accounts.xml");

        foreach (System.Xml.XmlNode emailNode in loadDoc.SelectNodes("/Accounts/Item"))
        {
            AccountList.Items.Add(emailNode.Attributes["email"].InnerText);;
        }

        foreach (System.Xml.XmlNode passwordNode in loadDoc.SelectNodes("/Accounts/Item"))
        {
            AccountList.Items.Add(passwordNode.Attributes["password"].InnerText); ;
        }

        foreach (System.Xml.XmlNode statusNode in loadDoc.SelectNodes("/Accounts/Item"))
        {
            AccountList.Items.Add(statusNode.Attributes["status"].InnerText); ;
        }
    }

    private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
    {
        System.Xml.XmlTextWriter writer = new System.Xml.XmlTextWriter(Application.StartupPath + "\\Accounts.xml", null);

        writer.WriteStartElement("Accounts");
        for (int i =0; i < AccountList.Items.Count; i++)
        {
            writer.WriteStartElement("Item");
            writer.WriteAttributeString("email", AccountList.Items[i].Text);
            writer.WriteAttributeString("password", AccountList.Items[i].Text);
            writer.WriteAttributeString("status", AccountList.Items[i].Text);
            writer.WriteEndElement();
        }

        writer.WriteEndElement();
        writer.Close();
    }

Your first problem is that on FormClosing, you're writing out the same data:

        writer.WriteAttributeString("email", **AccountList.Items[i].Text**);
        writer.WriteAttributeString("password", **AccountList.Items[i].Text**);
        writer.WriteAttributeString("status", **AccountList.Items[i].Text**);

(Can't bold, sorry. Notice Items[i].Text is the same.)

You'll want to use something like AccountList.Items[i].SubItems[0].Text. Replace the 0 with 1, 2, etc for the column indexes. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.listviewitem.listviewsubitem.aspx for more information.
