//Bind the ListView
// Create items and subitems for each item.
listView1.View = View.Details;
ListViewItem lv = new ListViewItem("lv", 0);
var item = user.ToList();
foreach (var u in item)
{
lv.SubItems.Add(item[0].Code);
lv.SubItems.Add(item[0].Name);
lv.SubItems.Add(item[0].Sex);
lv.SubItems.Add(item[0].DOB);
}
// Create columns for the items and subitems.
listView1.Columns.Add("Name", -2, HorizontalAlignment.Left);
listView1.Columns.Add("Age", -2, HorizontalAlignment.Left);
listView1.Columns.Add("Sex", -2, HorizontalAlignment.Left);
listView1.Columns.Add("DOB", -2, HorizontalAlignment.Left);
}
}
Thanks in advance.

The problem is that you are not adding the created ListViewItem(s) to the ListView.
listView1.Items.Add(lv);
The creation of ListViewItem seems a little bit strange. In the foreach you are adding for each user 4 subitems with the values of first user of your enumeration.
I think that is not what you want and you want to add an item for each user with its values.
foreach (var user in item){
ListViewItem lv = new ListViewItem(user.Name);
lv.SubItems.Add(user.Code);
lv.SubItems.Add(user.Name);
lv.SubItems.Add(user.Sex);
lv.SubItems.Add(user.DOB);
listView1.Items.Add(lv);
}
