In this method, you will be able to add any image that you like and put it inside the ListView. Aside from that, you can also resize the image according to your desire.

  3.         ImageList lstviewItemImageList = new ImageList();

  9.                 foreach (string files in file)
  10.                 {

  12.                     lstviewItem = new ListViewItem(files);
  13.                     lstviewItemImageList.ImageSize = new Size(50, 50);
  14.                     listView1.SmallImageList = lstviewItemImageList;
  15.                     lstviewItem.ImageIndex = lstviewItemImageList.Images.Add(Image.FromFile(lstviewItem.Text), Color.Transparent);
  16.                     listView1.Items.Add(lstviewItem);
  17.                 }
  18.
