I have the following piece of code which moves ListViewItem‘s from one ListView to another.

private void MoveListViewItems(ListView source, ListView target) {     foreach (ListViewItem item in source.SelectedItems)     {         ListViewItem tmpItem = (ListViewItem)item.Clone();         source.Items.Remove(item);         target.Items.Add(tmpItem);     } } 

This works fine, except the assignment of the group.
I’ve created the same group (let’s say “group_A”) in both ListView‘s.

If I clone one ListViewItem from the source-ListView that resides in “group_A” and add it to the target-ListView, then it won’t appear in the “group_A” of the target-ListView.

So I’ve added an additional line of code which re-assigns the group to the ListViewItem by using the group’s Name-property and this also works fine:

private void MoveListViewItems(ListView source, ListView target) {     foreach (ListViewItem item in source.SelectedItems)     {         ListViewItem tmpItem = (ListViewItem)item.Clone();         source.Items.Remove(item);         target.Items.Add(tmpItem);          // re-assign the group         tmpItem.Group = target.Groups[tmpItem.Group.Name];     } } 

I think I understand why this is happening, as the source-group-object isn’t the same as the target.
My question is: Am I doing this in a way that it was not intended to do?

Or isn’t there a more elegant solution?
