Writing Xml from listView

I am trying to get each item from a listview and write it to an xml file. For instance lets say i have 2 items in the ListView: http://download.com/download1.zip & http://download.com/download2.zip. below is the code i have but it gives me an error: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItem' to type "System.String'.

XmlNode nodeDload = xmlDoc.DocumentElement;
XmlElement Dload = xmlDoc.CreateElement("Download");
XmlElement dataDload = xmlDoc.CreateElement(i.ToString());
XmlText textDload = xmlDoc.CreateTextNode("");

nodeDload.AppendChild(Dload);

foreach (string item in aUrlView.Items)
{
Dload.AppendChild(dataDload);
dataDload.AppendChild(textDload);
textDload.Value = item;
++i;
}

Example Below

<root>
<download>
<1>http://download.com/download1.zip</1>
<2>http://download.com/download2.zip</2>
</download>
</root>

Could someone help me out with this
Thanks in advance

take a look at the following code and i hope this works.

XmlElement DLoad = doc.CreateElement("DownLoad");

for(i=0;i<lstView.Items.Count;i++)

{

XmlElement data = doc.CreateElement(i.ToString());

XmlText textNode = doc.CreateTextNode("");

textNode.InnerText = lstView.Items.Text;

data.AppendChild(textNode);

DLoad.AppendChild(data);

doc.DocumentElement.AppendChild(DLoad);

}

The ListView.Items property returns a collection of ListViewItem objects not string objects. Try this:

foreach (ListViewItem item in aUrlView.Items)
{
Dload.AppendChild(dataDload);
dataDload.AppendChild(textDload);
textDload.Value = item.Text;
++i;
}
