Oooops, sorry Pete ... I meant to use the Text property of the SubItems. My bad. =(

And yes, you can use the sender parameter. You just cast it to a ListView. So, something like this:

ListView oList = (ListView)sender;
ListViewItem item = oList.SelectedItems[0];
int paydetailsid = (int)item.SubItems[10].Text;
int payaddressid = (int)item.SubItems[11].Text;

>thanks for putting me on the right track, is there a way of casting the sender parameter to retrieve the same info ?
